I don't see any reason for [logging] to depend on [lang], so it is perfectly fine if lang uses logging. It is possible that some drivers will use [lang] - for example to use Nestable to provide this feature for log4j - but that shouldn't be part of commons-logging, but part of a special commons-logging-log4j.jar. In general I think it was a bad idea to mix the drivers in the same interface with the API ( I'm waiting the "I told you so" :-). I think the ant pattern ( ant-foo.jar for the drivers that are dependent of "foo" ) is a very good one.
