Log rotation defaults

Any particular reason the log rotation config files where changed to only rotate when the file reaches 5G minsize instead of having it rotate daily like before?

Current logrotate config for the /var/log/asterisk folder

/var/log/asterisk/messages
/var/log/asterisk/event_log
/var/log/asterisk/full
/var/log/asterisk/dtmf
/var/log/asterisk/fail2ban {
        daily
        rotate 2
        minsize 5G
        missingok
        compress
        delaycompress
        notifempty
        sharedscripts
        create 0640 asterisk asterisk
        su asterisk asterisk
        postrotate
                /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'logger reload' > /dev/null 2> /dev/null
        endscript
}

/var/spool/mail/asterisk {
    daily
    missingok
    rotate 2
    minsize 100M
    notifempty
    sharedscripts
    create 0660 asterisk mail
    su asterisk mail
}

/var/log/asterisk/queue_log {
    daily
    missingok
    rotate 30
    notifempty
    sharedscripts
    create 0640 asterisk asterisk
    su asterisk asterisk
    postrotate
                /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'logger reload' > /dev/null 2> /dev/null

@PitzKey had already mentioned something about this here: Log file "full" is missing - #13 by PitzKey on that VitalVersion minsize was set to 500M also changing the daily rotation the system had before.

I guess we can make the changes manually ourselves, but just wanted to know why the change to the default. In my opinion, I think i prefer the daily rotation without the need for the file to reach a minimum size.
