Sorry, I misread your earlier message and assumed it was logging the
level already. I've spent too long staring at bitbake server bugs :/.

I'm still torn on this, I can see why qa.log makes sense to contain all
the qa issues found and then the WARN/ERROR levels filter the console
output (and ultimately the bitbake exit code). I can also see why in
general we'd not want "levels" in the logfile, its more of a console
issue.

You could do "grep -v version-going-backwards qa.log" I guess?

Cheers,
