Howdy, This illustrates one of the fundamental issues of the sandbox (not just in log4j, it's more general), which is the circular argument of "no one knows about it if it's in the sandbox -> no one uses it -> no one can say 'I use this' -> it gets removed from the sandbox" ...
Not that I particularly care for this one, I'm just in a musing mood...
