Indirectly they already expire by default. It's just a different
expiration date for everyone, because the current policy depends on a
combination of free space remaining and maximum number of files.
For systems with rsyslog installed, there's also already a default from
logrotate, so setting a default expiration has plenty of precedent. And
having a defined period would be MUCH better for consistency. Maybe I
would add a note wherever that default is set that lower disk space
could mean a shorter time though.
