How many libraries have passed review and never merged to a boost release? 
After a library is accepted, it can be YEARS (if ever) before a library is in
shape to be merged.  Having two libraries with different approaches to different
but overlapping portions of the logging problem space in the review process can
only be a good thing.

Don't combine the reviews.
