Libraries decide their severities differently, by setting a level on
their top level logger. There's only one handler of last resort (else
it wouldn't be a last resort). Generally, application developers
determine the level for each logger they're interested; if no explicit
levels are set, the default is the level of the root logger (WARNING
by default).

Thanks for the feedback,
