journald provides configuration knobs to exactly set the limits.
But forcing the admin to always configure this is something that
should be avoided, and reasonable values that work OK most of the
time should be used. Those defaults (15% of available /var/log, 10% free)
may not be perfect, but they give reasonable behaviour on various
systems, large and small. This is true even on btrfs with 50%
overestimate of free space
you are aware how much 10% of 8 TB are?
this is the same way fundamentally broken as the
"5% reserved for root" these days
you need at least a lot of more fuzzy logic
* not more than XXX MB
* or vary the percentage depending on the drive size
* if /var/log is a dedicated partition *nothing* reserved
