Paul Benedict commented on LOG4J2-41:
-------------------------------------
I don't support departing from Java enums. We should keep a strict and limited
set of provided levels. To help others who definitely believe they need custom
levels, we should provide (1) a method that takes an int that identifies their
level and (2) a custom strategy that knows how to deal with it.

> It is desirable to have the Level be an enum. However, it is also desirable
> to let users add new log levels. These goals are in opposition to each other
> since enum classes are final. In addition, adding new levels implies adding
> new methods to the Logger interface (or some counterpart to it). This would
> be unworkable.
