I totally agree. This moves the compression knob from the config file to the command line. And what if the user wants some but not all files to be compressed? Or wants to use different compression with different log files? > If you want to change the compression, update the default configuration file. I also think this is the best approach. Given the current freebsd-update workflow, users will get to deal with changes to the default newsyslog.conf via mergemaster. And having converted a number of systems from newsyslog compression to zfs compression, just changing the config file is not the only change needed, users will still need to compress/uncompress existing log files.
