Saptarshi De commented on LOG4J2-3235:
--------------------------------------

Hi [~ggregory] 

Really appreciate your input on this, it makes sense and the work around does 
work fine.

However modifying the jar manually will not be an apt solution for us as we 
have multiple applications and environments and it might be not possible to 
maintain a custom version for log4j-api alone. It will be prone to errors.

Kindly check on this, Thank you.

Regards

Saptarshi
