No. The biggest difference (and it's important to the Avalon community) is
that logged messages are "Object" in commons, and "String" in LogKit. That
kind of trashes the idea of sharing a common interface. However, the CODE
you write can be "independent" of this.

Commons logging should be for all modules that want a generic logging
interface.
In my opinion anyway... :)

And in that framework, can they have their components use the generic
commons interface for logging?
