Sure, but the ordinal value of log is different for client and server:
#server_min_messages = notice # Values, in order of decreasing detail: # debug5,
debug4,debug3, debug2, debug1, # info, notice, warning, error, log, fatal,
# panic
#client_min_messages = notice # Values, in order of decreasing detail: # debug5,
debug4,debug3, debug2, debug1, # log, notice, warning, error
The LOG value is ordinally correct for CLIENT, but for SERVER, it is
just below FATAL. I can change it but for now that is what people
wanted, meaning you probably want LOG in the log file before WARNINGS or
even ERROR.

We added NOTICE and INFO and WARNING because they were required. INFO
is for SET-like information, NOTICE is for non-warnings like sequence
creation for SERIAL, and WARNING is for real warnings like identifier
truncation.
