Comment:

 Hm. Promoting those warnings is a good idea, but it won't do much good
 without clarifying them substantially.  A warning message should be clear
 enough that it can tell the user what happened, whether they should care,
 and what action is required.  So the "unknown stream status" message
 should probably be a LD_BUG, right?  And both messages should probably say
 which proxy stopped running or couldn't be configured.

 (btw, please remember to put a ticket into needs_review when it has a
 patch on it.)
