I had a look at the release and found this:
http://svn.slf4j.org/viewvc/slf4j/tags/SLF4J_1.1.0-RC0/log4j-over-slf4j/src/main/java/org/apache/log4j/Logger.java?view=markup

What is the goal of log4j-over-slf4j ? It is far away from binary 
compatibility and it seems to be a lot of work to reach source 
compatibility.
If I am using slf4j in my project, I would turn all sources to slf4j. If 
there are older parts of log4j I would turn them to slf4j.
If there are third party jars using log4j, I have no chance with 
log4j-over-slf4j to get them run.

I would suggest to take this API part out of the release because if a 
user is once disappointed, he will not try again in a short distance 
future...

Anyway: Congratulations!

Regards
Boris
