The suggestion in the JEP is that each category/component has several levels,
so in that sense they are not independent. To enable logging you would specify
a list of {component, level} tuples, like:
gc:info, younggen:trace
But to make it easier to type in the most common case the 'info' level is
considered 'default' if nothing else is specified. So the above would be
equivalent to saying just
gc, younggen:trace
