Okay, but how many friendly, cooperating developers do you think really
bother to turn off history logging when they don't think what they are
doing is "interesting"? More likely, they trust the system
administrator to filter or rotate the logs as they see fit.
I guess I'm just looking at this as pretty much useless, or unused
anyhow, by the majority and anethema to people like our bug reporter and
why not remove it?
