Reading through the docs redefining the log levels is intended for it.
So not only is it possible, it's expected.

Right now how we're using logger is 3 different instances of the logger
class. So no real change in how it's used.


Keep in mind none of our loggers overlap:
errorlog ->stderr
log->stdout
filelog->yum.log

I'm suggesting
errorlog->stderr
log->stdout
filelog->syslog
