Actually, what I would like to do is drop the 1.x site off the logging page and just add a link to it from the new log4j page, similar to what http://hc.apache.org does with commons logging. In fact, we really should have a link to the log4j 2.3 web site (all the sites for past releases are still there if you know how to navigate to them) since it was the last log4j 2 release to support Java 6. I’d like to do the 2.6.2 release by the 4th so I don’t know if there will be time to fix all of that before then.
