Paludis log levels are irrelevant.
The recent change in the cups.conf is no more or less critical that the one in 
Paludis: something changed without causing things to breaks --> it is not 
critical, as it wont be more or less work to fix it before or after running 
the application again, although doing so beforehand is perferred.
You say it yourself: "the user should fix it before continuing"
"should" not "has to"
It is critical if your filesystem might be damaged, if there are security 
issues of any kind, or if something stops working.

A simply warning because a deprecated config format is used, just aint 
critical.
If I am wrong here, I bet the majority of Gentoo developers would jump in and 
start correcting me. If they wont, I would suggest you just accept this, and 
use einfo or whatever you like to.
By doing so you alone would be able do save each and everyone of us reading 
this list time and/or bandwidth.

Perfectly correct, it is about this news item being critical or not.
I were not the one who started to talk about log levels, which is off-topic.
