if you have packages require logrotate  and some one wants to remove it  it 
will pull alot of stuff out. logrotate itself really doesn't take up much 
room on my desktop  about 160K  the files dropped in /etc/logrotate.d  take 
up 232K    and if the packages that put things there required logrotate it 
would remove cups yum  acpid BackupPC kdebase mgetty bind rpm samba net-snmp 
syslog tomcat httpd to name a few.  realistically if you make the packages 
start to require logrotate  you wont be able to remove it.  and as i said 
before Disk is cheap. and it really is small.
