Having same message repeated tens or hundreds of times per second because the 
server goes bananas it is not useful to anyone, and can easily be automatically 
suppressed. Handling this in the logging system means it needs to be done only 
once instead of in every place it can happen. If you want to make the 
thresholds tunable it's also easier if it's handled in one place.
