In this case, it looks like commons-lang and commons-logging are only needed because math doesn't use Java 1.4 as the base level. Moving to Java 1.4 has the advantage of providing exception chaining and logging in the Java core and eliminates 2 jars. Obviously, the disadvantage is that 1.3 users can't use commons-math.
The need to support 1.3 is diminishing over time. Java 1.4 is available and runs well on all the major platforms I can think of.

And really, in the long run, if your developing and your stuck back on 1.3.1, you have alot greater issues to be focusing on then adding a new library to your tool. If your not focusing on making the transition off an older obsolete JVM , your not going to be able to run on current platforms. Specifically, why should we tailor our packages for your obsolete code?
