logging levels in 1.8.0?

Hi,

according to the unbound.conf(5) man page, the following
verbosity levels exist:

       verbosity: <number>
              The verbosity number, level 0 means no verbosity,  only  errors.
              Level  1  gives  operational information. Level 2 gives detailed
              operational information. Level 3 gives query level  information,
              output  per  query.   Level 4 gives algorithm level information.
              Level 5 logs client identification for cache misses.  Default is
              level  1.  The verbosity can also be increased from the command-
              line, see unbound(8).

Now, as a follow-up from my previous message I wanted to test what
sort of logging information I would get from log level 2, by issuing
"unbound-control verbosity 2".  I was rather surprised that it looks
like this is actually giving me "query level information", not
"detailed operational information", as exemplified by these log
messages:

So, does this mean that there is actually no "detailed operational
information" logging level?
