[slf4j-user] SLF4J - Java 5 version ?

[Ceki Gulcu]

Hello Chris,

Given that SLF4J is intended for use by all sorts of libraries, the dependency 
graph between libraries and SLF4J can be complex. In particular, it would not be 
unusual for the dependency graph to have multiple dependencies on SLF4J with 
*different* versions. Thus, we have to be extra-careful and conservative when 
doing changes to the SLF4J API.

In short, do not expect any changes to the org.slf4j.Logger interface, except 
maybe changes in indentation or comments. I am afraid the whole deal is by now 
cast in stone, with the key thrown to the bottom of an unnamed ocean.
