So, who needed log4j2?  It is massively incompatible with log4j1.2 and
isn't a simple port job.  I would argue if log4j2 was actually needed,
it should have been introduced as a separate log4j2 package and allow
projects to port to it as they have time/need.  This update log4j to an
incompatible version with no compat package provided at the same time is
not the way to handle such an upgrade.  Giving advanced notice that the
world will come crumbling down and you'll have to deal with it is not
enough.
1. This change was announced [1] in advance and I didn't hear any
concerns from anyone until the change was implemented.  hadoop and all
other packages were mentioned in the announcement as possibly being
affected by the update.

2. The original announcement [1] and follow-up messages contain some of
the reasons for updating to 2.0.  But there are other reasons as well --
log4j 2.0 was blocking mybatis package update [3].
but mybatis  use them both
see https://github.com/mybatis/mybatis-3/blob/mybatis-3.2.7/pom.xml

3. As I already said on IRC multiple times, I am going to introduce a
compat package log4j12 before 6 Jun 2014.  If that's too late then feel
free to package it yourself.

4. I shared my general opinions about Java compat packages and update
procedures on java-devel [2] and I didn't hear any concerns about them.
  Recent log4j update follows the procedure and best practices I
presented there, like keeping the name log4j instead using log4j2.
