[yt-dev] Kill logging in the notebook?

[Christopher Moody]

-1
I actually totally disagree. I really like and use the yt logging
extensively inside iPython notebook. My workflow is biased towards a lot of
frontend-heavy stuff, and it's useful to know when any of that is wonky
enough to be logged, but not throw errors. Besides, you can just double
click on the side bar to hide a cell's output -- although I can see how
that's not helpful if you're plotting.

I'd compromise if we can set a separate logging level for the notebook.
Then I can change the default for myself. Probably also not hard to do?
