Comment:

 With the changes made in 5.3 on how we weight issues, a potentially public
 logfile that could contain any manner of details would not be as
 discoverable if you lower the severity to a recommendation.

 This should still be considered potentially critical in my opinion, and
 whomever has set up the logging would then either be an average user that
 disables it, or a more technical user that knows the file isn't a problem
 while using it, and that removes it once done and that severe warning
 serves as a reminder (us technical folks forget things too after all).

 In short, I'm still not convinced we should reduce the severity of
 (potentially) public logs.
