Dear Robert, Thanks for the suggestion. We've tested the `6.0.0-SNAPSHOT` version of `org.apache.sling.commons.log` in our application.
The good news is that the bundle installs correctly and doesn't seem to cause major failures or unresolved package imports based on our initial smoke tests. However, we encountered an issue where logging doesn't function as expected, even though we followed the official installation instructions ( https://sling.apache.org/documentation/development/logging.html#separate-logback-slf4j-installation). The Sling launcher console log shows SLF4J warnings indicating that no providers were found: [INFO] Apache Sling Application Launcher [INFO] --------------------------------- [INFO] Initializing...

Our plan is likely to wait until the new `commons-log` version is integrated into the official `sling-starter` project ( https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-starter). We can then reference or replicate that working configuration. Hope this feedback is helpful for the release process.
