That's an overstatement; as Sussman pointed out, Apache does not use the
log4j model. I'm sure I could find as many projects with homebrewed log
libraries that work one way as the other. You may want to include the
phrase "In my experience" or "IMNSHO" in the future before any absolute
statements like the above... ;-)

FWIW, when I rewrote the logging in Qpsmtpd, one of my primary goals was
to make the API as simple as possible, equivalent to:

        log_new();
        log_level();
        log();

and have the ability to hook multiple log plugins into the same
framework (perhaps I want to log event X to console and event Y to a
database and event Z to a file). Sure you pay for an additional
dispatch, but the flexibility it definitely worth it.
