Info level has too many false positives to be useful as default and I 
don't think this will change in future.

I don't want to encourage the users who want to have everything perfect 
and then destroy perfectly valid data not recogniced by validator. The 
validator should only be a help to find obvious errors and allows deeper 
inspection only when the user knows what he does.
