Actually if we're to change things to print INFO to stdout and WARNING+ to stderr, ACK!  That would be an awful default -- stdout belongs to the application, not to "meta" stuff like logging, which should only go to stderr.  Much better to document the "how-to" for setting up something like that than to make it a default.

Don't worry, that isn't going to happen. Vinay was just responding to something he thought I was suggesting. I wasn't really, but I can understand someone getting that impression (as I was using that behaviour as my running example of "so just what is involved if an applications wants to configure logging like that?").

Cheers, Nick.
