I'll just point out that this can perhaps be considered a security bug, because if log rotations stop happening, the disk will inevitably fill up sooner or later, which means security patches will stop being applied, which means the machine will become insecure. You might say that that is a bit tenuous, but it is the actual real effect and a genuine problem I have been having with Ubuntu servers.
