This is not typical for logging under unix as such things usually are done by
newsyslog or logrotate - on a opeating system or distribution level.
This change will break this. I know that some softwares goes their own way such
wise but this breaks typical logrotate / newsyslog behaviours from my
experience. If someone decides to have logfiles i.e. daywise he can configure
that within his log rotating.
I'm personally prefer to do the things "as usual as possible" - so i would not
do this, but may be others have another view onto this?

hmm,
why? Means: what is the advantage if the darkice start script rotates the logs
byself?
I've seen this i.e. with servers like X while most other typical servers /
daemons don't did that (btw: the typical name convention is .old then).
And if the rc script does such rotating byself then this makes logrotating by
the system more difficult too - so it should give us a significant advantage to
do this this way.
Any other comments about this ideas here too?
Niels.
