First, my initial goal was to make it so that you could use the core features 
of Log4j 2 with no third party dependencies. I am not sure if that is true any 
more but I see no reason to introduce one for configuration. 

Second, I don’t really see what benefit we would be getting. Perhaps that is 
because in the links Simone provided I don’t see anything that ties to the 
configuration he is manipulating back into Log4j 

Third, the algorithm used in parsing the configuration is really simple - the 
configuration is converted into a Node tree. BaseConfiguration then processes 
the Node tree to create the actual configuration.  So if you want to create a 
new configuration type all you have to do is make sure that when it is done a 
proper Node tree is constructed.  

If I wanted to create a configuration based on Groovy or bean shell I know 
exactly what would need to be done.  I have no idea how that could be 
accomplished using modello.

In short, nothing I’ve seen yet has convinced me that there is anything to gain 
by switching.
