+1, as posted in a comment already.

I'd be fine with that, but we'd still need to filter UserErrors,
NotFound, etc. logged.

UserError is thrown by a piece of software when it wants to know the
user of the application about it (e.g. invalid container names). Such
errors aren't of interest for the system error log, at least not
normally. NotFound errors would occur every time IE tries to find
favicon.ico, so again, not very useful...
