It looks to me like the changes will be just a couple of fairly simple new classes for globalisation, and a couple of trivial methods to support the JSR-47 "finer" log level. I don't think that's a big deal. The "repackaging" of the logging library to separate the "interfaces" from the log-library-specific adapters is something that has already been proposed on this list, and clearly will *reduce* jar file size (though add complexity by forcing users to deploy two jars instead of one). It is less clear how the proposed changes to the 'discovery' process would affect code size/complexity, and I agree a close eye needs to be kept on this to make sure commons-logging stays the "thin bridge" it was always meant to be.
