Exactly, and I think this should be the *only* configuration SLF4J
would ever need. Any solution that requires extra configuration
properties or explicit precedence settings is IMHO too much.

The fact that SLF4J always uses the implementation jar that is first
available in the classloading hierarchy is simple and easy to
understand. I don't see any good use cases that would require anything
more complex.

The ServiceFactory approach sounds like a good solution to the
compile-time issues you mentioned earlier, but I think it should only
be used to duplicate the current runtime behaviour without any extra
configuration options or even the misconfiguration heuristics you
suggested.
