Ok, but: - if this happened only when commons-logging 1.0 was released, that would be better - Tomcat 4 doesn't use commons-logging yet, but has dependencies which use it; there's no plan to migrate to it, except maybe by writing a wrapper, since it would end up changing the API. Maybe Tomcat 5 will use commons.logging natively So +1. I would prefer using a wrapper, as I don't think introducing API changes because of logging is justified.
