Leo,

Maybe, but maybe not. To be clear, the PMC still has concerns about this. But 
Ceki has commit rights and obviously has quite a bit of knowledge on Log4j and 
what was supported.

My personal opinion is that the closer the build can get to producing a release 
that is 100% compatible with Log4j 1.2.17 the more receptive the PMC would 
be to approve it. After all, the goal is to be a drop in replacement.

Whatever happens I would not expect a release vote to be unanimous. More 
than one PMC member simply believe that end-of-life means end-of-life.
