Say you get five tool tips each day, each consisting of 60 bytes. The log then grows by less than 100 kilo bytes per year — I think log rotation is perhaps not that super critical :)
But Apple has a x-man-page://3/asl/ which is still rather rudimentary but can handle log rotation and stuff, and is something they are devoted to improving (the logging framework), so while it might not immediately look that beneficial, probably that is what I should use.
