For the benefit of the log4(X != j) communities, can you give some sort of elevator pitch for log4j 2.0? What is different? Given that the other projects around here have followed the 1.x model, it will be good to know what you considered good or bad of the "old" approach. Don't hesitate to send me to some sort of overview document, I admit I haven't looked for one, yet. Thanks Stefan
