How many more changes do you forsee in the near future?
I propose that once LogKit is stable again, we release it as 1.0 final (with
ContextStack deprecated).
Next, I suggest we each describe what we like and dislike about the LogKit,
with a focus on moving toward 2.0. This redesign will allow us to remove
all the cruft.
Another alternative is to have a "compatibility layer" in an additional jar
so that the deprecated way of doing things can still be supported, but the
main distribution is uncluttered.
I do not advise moving forward in either of those directions without a Final
Release first. That would be bad.
