Exactly. Nothing at all is wrong with it.
Whereas rotating logs as aforegiven, locked or otherwise, has an unfixable race condition where logs can grow without bounds, because it divorces the log rotater from the log writer. The aforegiven tooling is merely wallpapering over huge cracks and not fixing the actual problems, which were, ironically, fixed with better tooling as long ago as the 1990s.
