It seems obvious enough why there is wide disagreement on how to use
the existing levels and/or whether more levels are needed.  People are
trying to cram selectively enabled logging into log4j's strict
hierarchical logging scheme.

What I think mos people want is some reasonable way of saying how much
logging they want (and the current scheme is fine for that) along with
saying what kind of information they want logged (the current scheme
is lousy for that).  What folks probably want for the latter is the
ability to turn on and off some selection of "items of interest".  

I'm sure many people independently do this outside of log4j.  I don't
know if it would be easy / reasonable / worthwhile to have some
facility inside log4j that implemented the same idea.  You might be
able to cook up some "items of interest" that were interesting to many
development efforts, but there would certainly be unique elements that
folks would want to use to supplement that.
