Why do we even need a USE flag for this? The logrotate config files are
max, 4k. Just include the config file with your ebuild, which is what I
have done up until now. A user can either run logrotate or not. This
isn't about turning on a feature, it's about saving 4k. I don't think
it's worth it; I feel like USE flags are getting completely out of
control.
Please comment.
