 ##
 ## Severity level constants
+## 
+## These logging levels follow the Python Standard
+## https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging-levels
+## And are implemented in rcutils as well
+## https://github.com/ros2/rcutils/blob/35f29850064e0c33a4063cbc947ebbfeada11dba/include/rcutils/logging.h#L164-L172
+## This leaves space for other logging levels to be inserted in the middle in the future.
+## Since there are several other logging enumeration standard for different implementations.
+## Other logging implementations may need to provide level translations to match their internal implementations.
