[logback-user] Best practices for FATAL errors...

[Brett Walker]

I agree with you Chris in so much that a fatal error is really what you do about it.

And logging is to support the application. The application is really going to be doing something
atypical on a fatal error rather than an ordinary error. This needs to be highlighted in the logs.
The level of the log message should reflect the nature of the message.

An error, is an error.  The difference is what you do about it, not what level it's logged at.
