I don't think setting out to an instance of a relative simple
class qualifies as "large subsystem".

If they have time, then converting to a logging framework is the
right solution.

If they do not have time, then setting out now and put switching
to a logging framework on the TODO list is the right solution.

We all know that this type of item can be on the TODO list
for years without being implemented, but sometimes the time
is just not there to do the right thing.
