I'd say the same thing about an SLF4J based logger implementation. My reluctance to adding new dependencies for things that could be add-ons - maybe just a separate antlib under the umbrella of the Ant project - rather than Ant's core has nothing to do with the dependency being log4j 2.x at all. If we add something the existing dev team is not really interested in - otherwise the logger would exist already - maintaining it becomes a chore that either requires somebody of the dev team has to take care of things they are not really familiar with or relies on somebody external taking over maintenance. Here I feel it would be easier if the artifact was provided by somebody who cares for it. I do hear the "this is a low-maintenance contribution" argument and am not saying NO here, just voicing my opinion. We are maintaining things we accepted more than twentytwo years ago (`<netrexxc>` anyone :-) ) just to give a perspective on what maintenance involves. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
