I run a bunch of virtual servers under OpenVZ. Some hold quite a few logfiles. If these logfiles are named by date, then the migration of virtual servers (which uses rsync) is shortened considerably.
And yes, it would help with backups (those using rsync and incremental tar are the most obvious to me). And it would have the nice advantage that the alphabetical listing would be chronological too. In fact I always add dateext to logrotate. It'd be nice if it came with it enabled by default.
