   @pgaref Thank you so much for your interest in this.
   
   I do not believe the requested changes will yield any value.  The two 
reasons one would use the anchors `{}` in SLF4J is twofold:
   
   1. Readability (String formatting and no need for boilerplate logging guards)
   2. Performance when _not_ logging
   
   This PR is simply to remove superfluous code that does not add any 
measurable value and makes the code harder to read.  I don't want to be adding 
in new code changes if I can help it.
   
   With that said, in any production environment, the logging level will always 
be _at least_: INFO, WARN, ERROR.  Therefore, there is no need to ever care 
about performance of INFO messages.  It is _assumed_ that they will always be 
printed, so there is no need to add logging guards (`if (Log.isInfoEnabled())`) 
and there is no need for anchors.  Again, anchors are nice for readability, but 
I don't want to modify the existing INFO level logging too much; that is 
another exercise for another PR if someone is truly inclined.  I think it's 
better to just stop introducing this superfluous code moving forward and the 
old stuff will eventually be updated.
   
   Thanks.
