I miss a "trace" logging level so much. Having just one debug tier is simply not enough. Sometimes you want to insert some very low-level statements that could fill the log very easily. If you use debug level, it's not a good idea to commit those changes, because it can bite others. So in Rails the only way is to delete those statements after debugging is done. But wait! The work was already done and maybe someone will need it in the future. That's why trace level should be there. Log4j has it, Rails does not.
