The point Jason made earlier is that you can do the same thing with Log4J.

The benefit is that you code your custom logging stuff to the Log4J API's
and then that way you can move it around to other code instead of having it
be tied to Velocity's Logging API (which will never be used outside of
Velocity, I'm sure).

I see a lot of value in maximum code re-usability. I'm sure you and your
clients do as well. :-)
