Only if it's configured correctly. For people who build their own
"apache", also now known as "httpd", they need to remember to rotate
these logs. Packages such as .deb and RPM typically have the log
rotation setups built in, but I've seen people decide to de-activate
log rotation "to keep it forever", much as Subversion has no
gracefully way to entirely delete old branches from the repository
"because source control should never discard things!".

The reality is that occasionally making a break point and making a
clean start, whether with code or with logs, can be very helpful to
keep from having to deal with a lot of stale, useless old material.
