+1!

I'd also like to mention the following Sun program:
http://www.sun.com/software/javaseforbusiness/

The following link contains a news story about SAP paying Sun big time  
to keep supporting Java 1.4.x for their customers. Unfortunately, it's  
in german and I couldn't find that info in English:
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/SAP-bezahlt-Sun-aeltere-Java-Versionen-aktuell-zu-halten--/meldung/121816

This could also be interesting for you, Ceki. I guess you'd be ok if  
SAP paid you big time for bug fixes of the slf4j 1.5.6 line, right?

I'd also like to take the opportunity to remind everyone of http://bugzilla.slf4j.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70 
  and http://bugzilla.slf4j.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112 which would make  
varargs much more useful.
I'd be perfectly happy to contribute http://lilith.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/lilith/trunk/lilith-data/logging/src/main/java/de/huxhorn/lilith/data/logging/MessageFormatter.java?view=markup 
  (including tests), just let me know where I should sign :)

Cheers,
Joern.
