Currently there are no plans to change the logging framework. The question is how much do you and your customers want to make this change happen? Even estimating the cost of the update is probably several days work, so until we get funding to start looking there isn't even a plan.
There is a chance we can use OSGeo funds to look at the problem but that still won't happen unless someone organises it but we are always happy to receive volunteers.
