Hello,

  I have been involved on at least ten projects where logging has been
necessary.  With this much experience logging (both building logging
libraries and using third party libraries), I can tell you that when I
discovered log4j, I had never seen anything like it.  It is, simply, the
best logging package I have ever used.  Not just the big things, but the
little details are what make it great.  After a thorough review of JSR 47,
I see it falls short on many of these details.  In all honesty, if JSR47
became the logging standard, I would never use it as long as log4j still
existed in an up-to-date state.
  Please have mercy on us developers and heed this appeal!

       Sincerely,
                Andy DePue
