I don't think logrotate is universally available. When I started on
Exim, I knew very little about any Unix systems except Solaris. There's
no logrotate on Solaris, as far as I know. Maybe there's something else,
but I am not an expert.
You don't have to use exicyclog. It's just there if you need it.
