if it's education you're looking for...

for a short answer, it's because years ago this was considered the
correct way to behave according to the specifications released at that
time.

for a long answer, consult
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging/tech.html and search the mail
archives.


if it's a fix you're looking for...

the trunk contains code that copes more gracefully with some common use
cases and is backwards compatible. there's a good chance that your
problem will go away if you upgrade.
