As noted in Trac #359, logging kern.info (as we currently do, and did under Athena 9) to WSLOGGER results in basically all of dmesg being sent.  This may not be useful.  Then again, we do want to hear about, e.g., hard drives dying and I/O errors.

Is there a good reason we shouldn't just change it to the following?

*.warning;user,auth.info                           @WSLOGGER.MIT.EDU

If nobody speaks up to discourage this, we'll probably make the change.
