I would broaden my scope a little bit for this one
and say that "the Java logging ecosystem" should
be given a good long hard look. There are reports
I've seen going back a decade complaining about it,
old code (log4j 1.x) that's been deprecated but that's
still in widespread use, multiple similar ways to do the
same thing.
You have to combine this with the tenets in this
community to preserve backwards compatibility,
as well as an overall trend for legacy systems not to get
regularly updated to latest releases.
I don't think so much that a narrow focus on one library
is going to pay off as much as a broader ecosystem
focus looking at the set of plausible alternatives that
people might have for the logging function.
