Currently, we roll them over to keep the file below 1MB.
A 1 MB limit is too low nowadays. Other GNU Emacs source files are as large as 6.8 MB and it's not a problem. I suggest raising the size limit to 32 MB. The issue of size is independent of the mechanism used to enforce it, of course.
Here's a more-radical suggestion: combine the existing ChangeLogs (there is about 24 MB worth) into a single ChangeLog.1 file at the top level. That would be under the 32 MB limit. Or, if we prefer a smaller limit, 16 MB say, we can create ChangeLog.1 and ChangeLog.2. This suggestion is independent of the other suggestions.
