As you saw using commons-logging is not just another logging framework,
but would allow to use basically any framework you would like.
If this were the only consequence, it might be worth pursuing. The
inherent classloader issues to providing that functionality seem to
have caused many other people much difficulty:

Actually I see the argument made in the last paragraph very much in
favor of using it in Solr. Solr is intended to be used with other
applications, which will very likely use different logging frameworks.
I don't think so--the author of commons-logging recommended it only
for small pieces of code used by other applications. Solr is closer
to a stand-alone application/server.
