I think what we need is an orthogonal classification. "This FATAL here
is routine; that ERROR there denotes a severe problem in the underlying
OS". Additional levels won't help with that. Maybe adding the concept
of "severity" or "criticality" to some messages would be useful to
decide what to keep and what to discard.
