This is probably only worth saying one time, so please take this as 
informational, and not as argumentative.

First, the term we use is - in the end - of no real concern to us.  We 
have a functional requirement.  Would be nice if the term was meaningful. 
That said, I believe "enterprise" is meaningful, if not familiar to some 
of our peer developers.

Enterprise: An undertaking, especially one of some scope, complication, 
and risk.

"Enterprise" does have a lot of marketing hype behind it, yet I assure 
you, as a developer, my (and IBMs) intent is not market-speak.  From my 
perspective, this is an "old" term describing the best-practices and 
design considerations that are different for large systems.  There IS a 
learning curve that a programmer must work through to understand the 
change in mind-set required for writing software that would be deployed 
into such environments.  And yes, many of these are cumbersome and 
undesirable for others.  The separation between Log and EnterpriseLog 
should address this concern.

In that light, from the perspective of a 2.0 release, there is 
justification for adding (upwards compatible) some elements of the 
proposal, or variants thereof, to the Log interface.  That would expose 
some new function to the more simple use cases, and allow the more 
difficult to digest API's to remain on EnterpriseLog.
