Predictably, the MVS partisans have defended the design with a rationale only slightly different from that you cynically suggest. In fact, they state that SYSLOG messages are targeted not at you and me, the programmers reading them, but at operators or systems administrators, who rarely read them. For those persons, the messages indicate no necessary action nor error committed by those persons, hence the "I" suffix is deemed proper.
