You may not realize it yet, but it is a time bomb. And problems like the
ones this cause generally require many hours of developer's time to
resolve.
If somebody wants to step up to a new version of these projects, they will
need to ensure that they order their classpath appropriately. What's
particularly bad is generally they have no way of knowing that they even
need to be concerned with this.
Since oro is stable, and pretty much nobody else who uses velocity uses
logkit, it is not surprising that this is not much of an issue yet.
