Description

slf4j has an MDC API which would be very handy for selectively turning on tracing of certain kinds of routes

in addition logback has support for the full jar version info in stack traces (which will help us support camel) so we should probably switch.

its easy to mix and match slf4j with logback (there's a commons-logging API impl) - plus its easy to bridge both clogging & slf4j to logback (kinda like log4j), so we should probably just switch to slf4j.

BTW there's a tool that auto-converts source code we should just use...
