But the difference is also how to draw attention to the error. An
application can produce hundreds of errors and still work for most
users or it can be completely out of order. The difference is not what
the app is going to do about, but how do I inform the devops/support
about it.
In first case it might be sufficient to check the logs in the morning
and do something about it during next day, in second case it may be
necessary to call someone out of the bed.

This difference is 'taken' now :-)
The alternative to create a 'fake' appender, call it fatal and log
errors to it, seems wrong, but i have no other ideas...
