I cannot have a direct dependency on any logging implementation that does not let me replace it. We use our own logging framework that, believe it or not, is somewhat more advanced.
As far as I'm concerned, Cocoon can use log4j or the JDK logger as long as it is done through an abstraction layer. While I am not necessarily thrilled with the logkit logger and its configuration, I am happy that I can just declare my own class that implements LoggerManager in web.xml and my logging framework gets used. In fact, I'd be fine if we just incorporated that piece from logkit into Cocoon and then had the default implementation use log4j or the jdk logger.
