[syslog-ng] : WAS: why dose the usage of mem by syslog-ng keepgrowing? NOW: FAQ update

[Evan Rempel]

This is a prime example of why file destinations (all destinations really) should follow
the time_reap() and time_reopen() options. I just wanted to emphasize that I would like to
see this on the to-do list.

Is there a published "to-do list" or "wish list"?
