Hi @basvandenbrink, thanks for catching this.
This is caused from us using some of the default settings of logrus for logging which, by default, outputs all logs to stderr.

Sadly the library does not support switching between stdout and stderr for specific log levels within the library itself (only allows you to set a single output for all levels); and as you can see from the issue and PR below, the core maintainer has not been open to implementing or accepting any PRs to fix this.

sirupsen/logrus#403
sirupsen/logrus#671

I'll take some steps to resolve this on Fabrikates end this week:

• Output all logs to stdout by default.
• Create a wrapper logging service which will call logrus.SetOutput(os.<Stderr|Stdout>) as necessary.

@evanlouie Thanks for the quick head-up! Good to hear it is picked up.
