GitHub user vy edited a discussion: Removing `StructuredDataMessage` and all other RFC 5424 et al.
I propose removing ``` o.a.l.l.message.StructuredDataMessage o.a.l.l.message.StructuredDataId o.a.l.l.message.StructuredDataCollectionMessage o.a.l.l.core.layout.SyslogLayout o.a.l.l.core.appender.SyslogAppender o.a.l.l.core.layout.Rfc5424Layout ``` because - They're not used. (Corpus search revealed no programmatic access<sup>1</sup>.) - They, if not incorrect, insufficiently model the RFCs they address. - Associated layouts are not really structured. Their structure guarantee is amended with several exceptions. - They have several bugs. - They receive vulnerability reports. - It has been the biggest maintenance burden of the last 6 months. If you agree and/or disagree with this proposal, please share your thoughts with your reasoning. <sup>1</sup> I've searched a corpus of 706,389 unique Maven coordinates, [amounting to 1,288,939 artifacts](https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/pmc/logging/20260602-log4j-rfc5424-artifacts.txt) (the link is only accessible by ASF and Logging Services PMC members!) and 238,544,576 classes in total, and spotted no usages.
