SOURCES: logrotate.conf - do log rotation daily and keep 2 weeks.

Let me put some thoughts here. There is no way to come up with one
universal logrotate configuration that will satisfy 99% of users both
desktop and server ones. IMO syslog and logrotate should be configured
individually for every system the way admin wants it.

In both cases I don't care about default config. However most of users I
know were happy with "4 weekly". Its quite good base value for both
desktops and servers. After one month admin should adjust his
syslog/logrotate config to match his needs.

If someone is configuring system for specific needs he/she should also
configure logrotate the way that will allow easy access to logs and will
not hog CPU/disks on rotate. If one will not configure it and will end
with machine compressing >=30gig log, well, its his problem and his
mistake. We as a distro shoudn't care about that.
