I think what we need is an orthogonal classification. "This FATAL here is routine; that ERROR there denotes a severe problem in the underlying OS". Additional levels won't help with that. Maybe adding the concept of "severity" or "criticality" to some messages would be useful to decide what to keep and what to discard. -- Álvaro Herrera PostgreSQL Developer — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/ "Uno puede defenderse de los ataques; contra los elogios se esta indefenso"
