I don't think that's true: the same number of log files will be
created, it's just that now more files will be rotated. So I left
out that part.
I was just reading the commit '6c43149c4':
" Dropping 'minsize 100k' allows rotating small files, which will
increase the number of log files, but 'rotate 4' ensures they will
be removed after a month.
"
and trying to extrapolate. I'm fine with dropping it though. We really
need to get better at making the author of a series do this stuff!

Not sure myself. I think the logrotate profile is installed along
with libvirt, but you have to enable it explicitly for rotation to
actually occur?
