NDC is included in the slf4j-ext module (slf4j-ext.jar). It is
implemented in terms of MDC. The fact that NDC is in the org.slf4j
package can be confusing. Sorry about that.

If NDC over MDC meets your needs and you wish to see it included in
the slf4j-api module, then please do enter a bug report.
