So, is the only concern the brand name "JCL"?  It seems to be.  If the code is
going to be completely different and not backwards compatible with the existing
"JCL" it isn't really "JCL", so why call it "JCL"?  Why not call it "UGLI"?  And
if it has to do with logging, why should it be a Jakarta project when there
exists an official Apache logging services project?  It seems to me that UGLI
has already solved the problems that the proposed JCL 2.0 is supposed to solve.
 And if UGLI hasn't completely addressed all logging API issues, then why
doesn't the JCL 2.0 team accept that there has already been work done to solve
the problems they caused and apply their effort toward making sure that UGLI
meets their needs?

I don't mean for this to be flamebait.  I'm just really perplexed as to why JCL
2.0 is needed now that UGLI exists?  Note that if JCL had already solved the
issues before UGLI, then UGLI wouldn't have to exist and we wouldn't be having
this discussion.  We'd simply being using a proper JCL, or maybe, more
appropriately, "ALAPI" (Apache Logging API) or some such name.  The fact that
there still exists a group in Apache developing a logging API that continues to
work outside the official logging services project is awefully strange as well. 
I can understand this between completely separate open source entities, but not
within the same (Apache) organization.  Very strange.
