The one thing I'm undecided about is whether we want the immediate
NOTICE, as opposed to dialing down the time till the first WARNING
to something like 5 or 10 seconds. I think the main argument for the
latter approach would be to avoid log-spam in normal operation.
Although Greg is correct that a NOTICE wouldn't be logged at default
log levels, lots of people don't use that default. Comments?
