This was up on the table for this release, but we decided against it.=20
The reasons can be found in the mail-archive, if you look back far=20
enough. The main reason is that it's a point release. It should be a=20
drop-in replacement.

If there comes a 1.2 or 2.0 release I'm sure we'll address it.

Unfortunately it's not all that easy to do. No matter which way you look =

at it, there are always some drawback when changing the groupId. Doing=20
it anyway is possibly dangerous because of the widespread use=20
commons-logging has.
