That's a good point.  There's no reason to maintain a giant journal
forever.

Here's the thing, though; I've more or less got my infrastructure under
control (server/admin ratio of ~ 350:1 currently), but I'm spending time
doing application management, not systems.  For example, mysql _sucks_
at scale; there are no tools to automate replication setup amongst a
spare pool of mysqlds, for example.

This sort of application specific management is what would be the most
useful to me, but most of it seems to require modifications to the code
itself; many software packages seem to require a _lot_ of effort to
shoehorn them into this kind of environment, and it sucks, although far
less than doing this by hand.

I'm continuing to keep an eye on isconf 4, though; it has a lot of
things going for it that I like a lot, and it plus some other glue may
prove to be better than what I've got right now.
