I think we should not reinterpret the severity of the error and lower
it. Especially, in this case, any kind of errors can be thrown. It
could be such a serious error that FDW developer wants to report to
the client. Do we lower even PANIC to a lower severity such as
WARNING? That's definitely a bad idea. If we don’t lower PANIC whereas
lowering ERROR (and FATAL) to WARNING, why do we regard only them as
non-error?
