I think so, too.
My customers and colleagues, who are relatively new to PostgreSQL, asked 
like "Is this FATAL message a sign of some problem?  What does it mean?"  I 
think it's natural to show concern when finding FATAL messages.  I find it 
unnatural for a normal administration operation to emit a FATAL message.
