Hi Gary, Can only be done in 3.x since we can't break it in a minor.
Now more on the ecosystem it would also mean dropping or forking JCS from TomEE since TomEE will stay JUL first for its stack and provides a light facade to switch to log4j2 (long story short: it is to avoid to enforce a lib users can not want or to avoid potential conflicts). However reworking the logging in JCS can be interesting, current log usage is slow and sometimes in synchronized blocks so I guess we can be better.
