My concern with the org.jboss.logging.Logger stuff is specifically the lack of 
MDC/NDC style capability.

Basically it comes down to the fact that I want to migrate Hibernate away from 
commons-logging for numerous reasons (the classloader leaking stuff being 
primary).  Given that fact, I want the API to which I move to support MDC 
(NDC is generally more useful for what I want to do but could be spoofed with 
MDC).  That means I can move to log4j, slf4j, or logback.  Out of those, 
slf4j seemed the most reasonable in terms of allowing easy integration with 
various environemtns.
