:/

We strive to make sure that Framework has no dependencies.  The thing is
that if Commons Lang ever introduces a dependency on Commons Logging,
that would definitely be bad for us.  Let's KISS.  I personally don't
ever use anything from Commons Lang, as I haven't found a need for it
yet.

For a good reason, yes. But the WriteProtectable / ReadOnly isn't
a good reason.
