Remko Popma commented on LOG4J2-1418:
-------------------------------------

That log method is for the StatusLogger. I did not consider status messages 
part of steady-state logging and made no effort to make it garbage-free. I am 
not too worried about this.

Since people may have implemented the {{MessageFactory}} interface without 
extending {{AbstractMessageFactory}} we cannot add methods to the 
{{MessageFactory}} interface without breaking binary compatibility.

Is it not enough to have a protected method {{getMessageFactory2()}} on 
AbstractLogger?

> It would be useful for a custom Logger implementation to be able to get hold 
> of a {{MessageFactory2}} (and not just a {{MessageFactory}}), in order to 
> efficiently process {{CharSequence}} etc.
> {{Logger.getMessageFactory()}} return {{MessageFactory}}, even though the 
> sole implementation in {{AbstractLogger}} do have a {{MessageFactory2}} 
> available.
