No, there was no decision. However, one change that should work well is to have the Layout.format() method take a Writer (or a Stream) as a parameter instead of a string and change the return type to void instead of String. I think all of the Appenders that make use of a Layout could painlessly survive this change with the exception of JDBCAppender.
Regardless, I want to study log4j memory usage for myself because there is sometimes a difference between reports and reality.
