But it could be done by a cron job of-course.

Logging does not disappear; /old/ logs do. If they need to be preserved,
run a syslog daemon (either local with /var/log/syslog or remote with a
logserver), or periodically back up old (rotated) .journals... Or, well,
post a feature request? (Actually, I wonder what happens if you set the
maximum to 100% of disk...)
