"Sufficient for me" is not a good reason sorry. If you don't want to  
use them, then don't use them.

No it can't. TRACE is already being used, and it would drown everyone  
using DEBUG if it was at DEBUG level.
Same thing, BLATHER would drown people looking for succint INFO.

I will standardize those for the use case we're seeing time and again  
and again.

- verbose INFO -> BLATHER, which i want to rename VERBOSE
- verbose DEBUG -> TRACE
