Bruce Brouwer commented on LOG4J2-609:
--------------------------------------

You know, since this would be the majority case, this could simplify 
{{StatusLogger}} even further by not requiring it to keep a bounded list of 
past Status messages. No longer would we expect future listeners to receive 
past status messages. There would be no longer be any chance that Status 
messages would be lost when being sent to {{System.out}}.

> {{org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.status.StatusConfiguration}} allows 
> you to specify a destination such as "out", "err" or a file name. If 
> specifying a file, that file stream is used when creating a 
> {{StatusConsoleListener}} that is added to the {{StatusLogger}}. Those 
> {{StatusLogger}} listeners are never cleaned up when, for example, the 
> {{XmlConfiguration}} is reconfigured or when the {{LoggerContext}} is shut 
> down (e.g. in {{InitialLoggerContext.apply()}}). This leaves open file 
> handles and is the source of the failing test {{FileOutputTest}} on Windows.
