Console.log(): non-standard?!

I was reworking some code caught in the wild to learn it, and it used both console.error() and console.info(). I'd heard that there were console methods beyond just our old friend console.log(), but I didn't know the details, so I turned to that beacon of righteousness: the Mozilla Developer Network. But wait: both had big red warning messages at the top of the page... And going up a level, console itself did also!

! Non-standard
This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.

Even console.log() has a warning! What? What does Stack Overflow say? I checked, and saw that most questions about console.log were from 2010/2011. I asked my housemate Ben the developer, and he said "check caniuse.com"...

Looks like in Internet Explorer 8 & 9, unless the console was open, it was undefined and console.log() would throw an error. Furthermore, caniuse.com has links to the GitHub where, in October 2013, a group got together and laid out how console should be used. I'm betting the MDN just has warnings because this Developer Tools Working Group isn't official, and the reason console.anything exists is entirely because the various browser coders decided to each do it with no prompting from, say, the W3C or ECMA.

The upshot is, console.log(), console.info(), console.warn(), and console.error() are all pretty much good to go if you don't need to support IE 9 or below. Also, this is why some ancient "learn Javascript" tutorials had all the reporting done with window.alert()... They come from the before times
