[logback-user] Daily rolling appender

[Sebastien Pennec]

Hello Keith,

At this time, the TimeBasedRollingPolicy does not provide MinIndex and MaxIndex, and
thus does not delete any archived log files.

This is something that we have not discussed yet, so feel free to add a bug report 
for enhancement[1] if you need this feature.

Cheers,

Sébastien
