Not really - Jan Gyselinck looked into our logging priorities some time ago
and changed a number of them. 

The problem is that syslog thinks in terms of 'severity', and we tend to
think in terms of 'important' or 'unimportant'. While the statistics are not
errors, many people like to actually see them.

Having said that, I think we could lower this to 'Warning' w/o upsetting
things too much. Many installations actually monitor these log messages, it
appears.
