Isn't that the whole idea behind the WORM filesystem paradigm? Never
delete anything, just add more storage. Right?

i have seen many worms filled without human intervention. that's what i'd like to prevent.
i can roll my own log rotation, but why not provide a sensible default?
note: not all systems have a worm partition or are running dumps. the worm actually makes the problem worse.

I thought dump only writes changed blocks, so if I don't write anything
it doesn't fill the disk?
(Log files set to temporary)

a lot of programs write to files under /sys/log/.
files under /sys/log/ are not chmod +t by default.
