[syslog-ng] internal message levels

>And no, they should not change once rolled out.

I can't see the logic in that.  If the levels mean something, then if
a message is issued with the wrong level, that's a bug.  Like any bug,
there are rare situations where the fact that existing users have
adjusted to the bug means the bug has to be redefined as correct.  But
when you do that, you're trading the needs of these users for the
needs of all the users who have not made such adjustments, including
all new users forever.

As this discussion has shown, the levels are pretty ambiguous in this
program, so there's a lot of leeway in choosing them.  I agree with giving
history a lot of weight in making such arbitrary selections.
