IMO they shouldn't have been added in the first place, but I'm not sure if they're part of the public API and hence subject to backward-compatibility constraints. It would be nice to hear a justification for them from Jesse (or someone else). Of course levels are a bit subjective and logging supports user-defined levels for special cases, but using multiple libs with different added levels would be a headache. I think at least the stdlib should stick to the standard levels.
