How to manage a growing MySQL slow_log table?

I see MySQL supports storing slow_log as a table (internally using mysql/slow_log.CSV file), and this appears convenient, but is it a feature I should use in production? I found online articles on the importance of temporarily disabling slow query logging while rotating the file log, but what's the best practice for managing slow_log.CSV? eg. copy and truncate table or rotate the slow_log.CSV just like db-slow.log?
