The release notes page says:
"log4j-flume-ngT
The module has been moved to the Flume project and follows the Apache
Flume release lifecycle.
We NEVER discussed this. We simply discussed moving it to another repo. As in
3.0.0, where more modules are split out, I believe it would be more appropriate
to say that they will have their own release cycles.

>> The changes include:

>> * A faster default `ThreadContextMap`.

>> longer require additional GraalVM configuration.
>> * The configuration properties subsystem now only accepts the official
>> pre-2.10 property names and the normalized post-2.10 names.
>> Check your configuration for typos.

>> === Modules
>>
>> The following Log4j Core additional modules have been removed:
