They do; programs are supposed to implement their own log handler if
the default one doesn't fit.
The GLib logging facilities are not aimed at full-blown logging as in
systems such as log4j.
I think a complete logging system would be far too expensive in terms
of memory usage (just considering the number of applications using
glib).
However, I do agree that some filtering would be useful when one wants
to suppress the warnings or errors in some particular situations;
certainly not by default though.
(I think you also got an answer from upstream.)
