+# Just for reference, the predefined logging levels:
+#
+# syslog/CMC Python added to Python
+# --------------------------------------------
+# emerg 0
+# alert 1
+# crit 2 CRITICAL 50
+# err 3 ERROR 40
+# warn 4 WARNING 30 <= default level in Python
+# notice 5 <= default level in CMC
+# info 6 INFO 20
+# VERBOSE 15
+# debug 7 DEBUG 10
+#
+# NOTE: VERBOSE is a bit confusing and suffers from the not-invented-here
+# syndrome. If we really insist on 3 verbosity levels (normal, verbose, very
+# verbose), we should probably do the following:
+#
+# * Nuke VERBOSE.
+# * Introduce NOTICE (25).
+# * Make NOTICE the default level.
+# * Optionally introduce EMERGENCY (70) and ALERT (60) for consistency.
+#
+# This would make our whole logging story much more consistent internally
+# (code) and externally (GUI always offers the same levels). Nevertheless, we
+# should keep in mind that the Python documentation strongly discourages
+# introducing new log levels, at least for libraries. OTOH, with 3 verbosity
+# levels, this would force us to log normal stuff with a WARNING level, which
+# looks wrong.

# Users should be able to set log levels without importing "logging"
