My use case is that deep in the guts and call stack of my server/app, I have a specific Core LoggerContext that I should/must use. Log4j and other components must co-exist in a long-lived server that have modules that are constantly re-initialized/re-configured during development and testing phases. During acceptance and production, the are fewer reconfigurations, but they do happen. The bottom line is that most logging code dishes out Loggers out of specific LoggerContext instances and not out of the LogManager classes (only in a few rare places.)
