Absolutely, I'll add it. Recently, I stumbled across an article in
Sysadmin Magazine (march issue) on "Logsurfer" -- it allows for
specifying all kinds of trigger conditions on existing logfiles: If a
certain number of messages are received, or even if there wasn't a
message for a given timeframe:

http://www.cert.dfn.de/eng/logsurf/logsurfer.conf.4.man
I've been thinking about maybe adding that kind of functionality to
Limit, to have this kind of control even before the messages are being
written.
