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?
