Kevin, which side are you advocating here? Definitions: 'AGAINST' means to NOT provide the ability to log exceptions at levels other than ERROR 'FOR' means that that functionality SHOULD be provided.

First you say:

I'd like to "Not Need It" as well, but the code I've written using log4j and the code I've written & maintained with a couple of other logging systems have needed it.

which implies that you are AGAINST.

Then:

That log statement is useful in debugging or maybe as a warning, but is definitely not an ERROR, because the computer has a valid way to continue the operation.

which implies you are FOR it.

Then:

+1

which implies again that you are FOR it.

And it promotes "there's one obvious way to do it". And it is consistent with existing de facto standard systems.

which I am not sure if that implies you are FOR it or confused over which side Jeremy is supporting.

Confused-ly yours, :) Trent
