Hi Jacob,

You may be thinking of compile time incompatibilities. The ones affecting 
the slf4j-log4j binding are encountered at run time. I very much doubt that 
the latest source solved the runtime incompatiblity problems. They run very 
deep into the core.

There are no plans to add TRACE to the org.slf4j.Logger interface.
