Does it really need to be Jackson? Jackson is optimized for JSON, we can easily write a SAX, StAX or JAXB appender in a couple of hours. > > * `log4j-spring-boot`: > -1: Spring seems too important. Are you sure you want to _veto_ a module removal based on a feeling? `log4j-spring-boot` has 4 elements: a lookup, a property source, an arbiter and an improved version of `Log4j2LoggingSystem`. All these elements were submitted to Spring Boot by Ralph and included in 3.x. So this module targets the users that don't want Spring Boot 3.x, but want Log4j 3.x. Piotr
