It doesn't, ZODB has a mapping for it but it's a stupid name left over 
from before the same timeframe as STUPID_LOGGER and some of the wacky 
error messages that ZServer used to spit out. I really want it to die :-(

Python has .info and .debug.

If this stuff is useful and normal people will want to know it, it 
should be at info.

If it's not really that interesting and is only useful when there's a 
problem, it should be at .debug

Hmmm, this sounds odd. Why does IWriteLogger even exist if it just 
mirrors the python logging interface?

No, .error is what you want here.

.warning is for things that are problems but which don't result in 
broken setups.

Agreed, although a summary logged at info at the end would be nice...
