I expect logs to be enabled by default. This is consistent with nearly 100% of
software which I have had experience with, including all *nix packages.

I think that this is more of a training issue than a software issue. Train
librarians/system admins to check/truncate/archive/whatever their logs and this
problem will go a way.

I would not be opposed to some sort of auto-archiving feature similar to what
*nix logs typically have.

My $0.02 worth...
