Karl Wright commented on HTTPCLIENT-1664:
-----------------------------------------

My experience moving ManifoldCF from log4j to log4j2:

(1) We were forced to do it because a dependent package used it.  It's 
idiosyncratic enough that there was no other implementation path possible.
(2) There are bindings for log4j 1.x in log4j2, but they are limited and aren't 
a full implementation of the API.  Same deal with slf4j bindings.
(3) Any code that creates loggers or modifies them needs a complete rewrite.
(4) We simply could not get standard name=value property files to work at all.  
We were forced to adopt the XML logging configuration files.

> Commons Log is old and has several serious issue. HttpClient 5.0 should 
> completely migrate away from it. SLF4J is an extremely wide support logging 
> facade.
