Gary, a couple of comments: 1. I don’t understand what “there is no official JDBC access” has to do with Cassandra or CouchDB. Could you please elaborate? 2. The functionality in log4j-spring-boot is directly incorporated into Spring 3 due to a PR I submitted. So with Spring Boot 3 log4j-spring-boot should NOT be included. Since Log4j 3.x (at least in my mind) goes hand in hand with Spring Boot 3 then removing log4j-spring-boot in 3.x makes sense.
