Description

Multiple framework and extension modules include the Apache Commons Logging library with different versions. The current runtime loading strategy avoids using these libraries due to the presence of jcl-over-slf4j in the primary library directory. Excluding references to commons-logging will reduce the size of binary artifacts and avoid potential confusion related to runtime behavior.
