Comment:

 Buildbot doesn't accumulate logs forever -- logHorizon, among other
 configuration parameters, dictate the lifetime of various data elements.

 Also, since in the next version Buildbot stores all of its state in a
 database, there's no reason not to use an Amazon RDS solution - MySQL or
 Postgres - to store it.

 If you're interested in working on this, please have a look at the latest
 commits to master.  In particular, we haven't implemented the horizons for
 the new, database-backed logs, steps, and builds.  If you'd like to submit
 a patch to implement one or more of those, that would be great!
