The ROTATELOG command was removed in favor of the 
kill -USR2 `cat services.pid`
alternative, which causes services to close and reopen its logfile.
You can combine this with a move, rename and kill...

MergeChannelModes is running always, if defined, and not only on
netsplits. So it is also responsible for the wanted delay in
chanserv setting modes, for there could be more mode changes than
one, and this makes services combine them into one single line.
