OK, that's fine - warning/WARNING it is. For consistency, though, we should also lose fatal/FATAL which are currently synonyms for critical/CRITICAL.

Yes, except I find fatal/FATAL so much easier to write. Do we really need the "political correctness" of critical/CRITICAL?

Are you seriously arguing for saving a few keystrokes? After adding three to warn? =)

It's not political correctness, it's technical correctness. I say do it right for all the calls or leave it as is (or revert to Java compatibility).
