An organization is going to get much more bang for their buck to write an adapter for SLF4J or commons-logging. Because ANY open source project they use is going to use that.

I would go INSANE if I had to write a custom log adapter for every open source project library I depended on. Can you imagine that?

This is PRECISELY the reason that SLF4J and commons-logging exist - to prevent practices like this. This is a practice that was common in the early 90s, before commons-logging caught on.

Why can't your contract pay you to implement an SLF4J -> Acme Co logging adapter? Seems like they would then get more bang for their buck as it would be applicable to other projects as well.
