I like both suggestions. Maybe we could split by year? That way the old |
| 17 |
non-conforming entries would just go into the oldest log. Delaying rotation |

by one year (ie. the first entry in 2012 would cause entries in 2010 to be |
| 19 |
split off) would prevent getting a bunch of empty changelogs Jan 1st. |
