You as programmer can do what you want in your system.

In a headless mode, probably the only user would be a sysadmin, so the choice looks sensible, although I still think that the stdout/stderr metaphor is more appropriate. > But then also i may want to use different stream for transcript in > headless mode (to redirect output to stdout or file), but that won't > require changing the error logging, which could simply output > everything to Transcript. If all these choices are not hardwired in the image, or at least made flexible enough so the defaults can be easily changed, I think it's OK. What I'm opposing is having this as standard in Pharo.
