Ralph, The simple fact of the matter is that Log4J2 appears to have little to no user traction at all. This suggests to me that the community forked into the next generation by way of Logback and Log4J2. The community appears to have gone in the direction of Logback. By a very large margin, at least for the time being. I just don’t see it as a valuable or practical choice to use Log4J2, maybe you don’t see Logback as a valuable or practical choice. That said I think what Tamas suggested is fair. We’ll get the extensions to work in some form and then it’s convenient for users to choose by configuration what they prefer. And it appears we’ll have three choices. I think it’s fine they are built in the core to ensure they work, but not distributed but deployed to Maven Central for optional use. I am perfectly fine with that.
