First, I'm not the author of log4j wrapper - it's Scott Sanders, Rod, etc. ( to give credits to who deserve :-) And what you say, think and do does matter. In particular maintaining and helping with the log4j wrapper, and making sure commons-logging works best with log4j will help all users of log4j that also use components that log with commons-logging. It may also get more people and components to use commons-logging API instead of logger-specific APIs - and that may mean they'll be able to choose the logger impl based on quality.
