Hello, Could you please reconsider adding FATAL level? I read and understand the argument at http://www.slf4j.org/faq.html#fatal , but actually there are scenarios where the two levels are different - for example, inconsistencies in a database might be classified as ERROR, but failing hardware or inconsistencies suggesting unauthorized access are need immediate attention are FATAL. Application saying "I'm out of memory, I'm quitting in hope that os will restart me soon as defined in cron" is error. Same application saying "I think I'm being hacked now, help me" is fatal. Also, it's reasonable to configure logging system to forward error situations to admin's mail, and fatal ones to admin's cell phone.
