It's not that simple, we are not assuming that logback is always the
logger, we are just packing the default XE with a logback implementation of
the logger manager which obviously expect to find logback. All we can do is
just do nothing if it's not logback but that means losing a few features
like the log displayed in the Extension Manager for example.
