   I disagree, but that is ok. Cascade/facade and others of the same type to 
these common libraries will cause more pain than benefits, and in my not so 
humble opinion will add code without value… There are other patterns one can 
use to reduce these types of problems you are mentioning. For instance, the 
logger upgrade, all you need is to change the log configuration, and then 
change the logger object, right? However, the logging methods will be 
maintained (info, debug, and so on). That would be easily done if instead of 
declaring a final static logger object in all classes, we used an inheritance 
strategy. Therefore, we would reduce greatly the surface of an upgrade like 
this one. The same applies when using other libraries that are used in a great 
number of objects. The problems we have with these upgrade is a consequence of 
poor design decisions in the past.
