I have no objection against this proposal and I think it would give a majority (as far as I can tell) of smilint users the chance to have a straight line between interesting and non-interesting errors/warnings. So, it's good and I agree.
However, I think *in general* the space of error checks is "multi-dimensional" and cannot easily be devided into interesting and non-interesting checks by a one-dimensional threshold. But following the XP style, I'm fine with what we have (and the addition of level 7). :-)
