In 1.5 and master, the default log ticker can make too many ticks, as illustrated by the lower-left panel in the pylab_examples/log_demo.py example. http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/log_demo.html

LogLocator already has a kwarg for this, so we should be able to make at least some improvement for v2.0. The question is how far to go: minimal change via introducing an rcParam? Include 'auto' logic? Clean up other problems and bugs in LogLocator? At least #7043 must be addressed.

ENH: LogLocator can auto-select number of ticks based on axis
7a84962 
Closes matplotlib#6549 and matplotlib#7001.  It doesn't actually address all cases
noted in matplotlib#6549, but I think this is as far as we are prepared to go
any time soon.
