I wonder if by "stable" you actually mean "unmaintained"?  Sunfreeware
is certainly not the originating community for logrotate, that's just
somewhere the source file exists.  As Sun's role is to "monitor the open
source project", do they even know where it is?  The logrotate utility
doesn't appear to have a "homepage" on the world wide web, being
maintained in Red Hat's CVS tree only so far as I can see [2].
