I haven't started using this in production but this is how I will likely setup the logging as it is easier to manage.

The main drawback with going to the RollingFileAppender is that the log file names will no longer have timestamps, but instead be of the form server.log, server.log.1, etc. What users are depending on the file name convention and would need to rollback the log4j configuration should the default change in a later version? What sort of feedback can those users provide to help us document this the right way?
