I think that the log files provide important information about context
for crash reports. While users aren't using the log files, the fact that
they can be attached is an important support feature for applications
(and services) deployed in production.

I think that we can shorten the amount of time we keep them. For
instance, we could delete the log file for an application when the
application exits. It should have either been grabbed by apport and
handle by that time regardless.

Title:
  App logging should be off by default

Status in the base for Ubuntu mobile products:
  New
Status in ubuntu-system-settings package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in upstart-app-launch package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  We are creating 100s of MBs in log files which are generally unused on
  production systems

  Propose to turn app logging off by default and add an option under developer mode to enable it along with additional logging levels like debug.
  Also, apps and shell should examine their logging to become far less verbose
