If you use certbot without --max-log-backups set, it builds to 1000 logs then rotates them. If you then run with --max-log-backups set to 200 it rotates the, at 200, but the logs from 201 - 1000 get orphaned.
Shouldn’t --max-log-backups delete all logs past its setting rather than delete just the one at its setting then rotate everything by 1? This way, setting --max-log-backups for the first time claens down the logs. It also cleans the logs if you forget to use the setting once (e.g.creating a new certificate).
