After a recent discussion at #tor I'm convinced that the Gentoo patch wrt the torrc file to let tor log to syslog per default should either be removed (upstream did not log per default) or at least it should be changed from level "notice" to "warn".

Okay I've committed this without a rev bump since its minor enough. But why is notice bad?

While a comprehensive answer can be found somewhere in the Tor Wiki pages (I don't have the link in moment) I realized at a test system, that "notice" is too noisy (http://dpaste.com/2K3JBFS) and due to the nature of the tor usage this might be unwanted in certain cases. (and it should be stated here, that Tor devs do not activate log per default at all)
