Whether it's over-used or not may be, but that doesn't make the
general issue nonsense.

But the fact is that having LOG at a higher priority than WARNING and
ERROR is un-intuitive in the extreme, and I bet there aren't many
non-experts who realize this. I don't know of any other software that
does this. Heck, *experienced* postgresql users keep getting this
wrong. Perhaps we need to re-think the naming there?
