I was hesitant to do that if there were external pattern converters that would be broken by the change. But if that isn't a concern, then by all means.
No need to worry about external pattern converters. From the log4j FAQ:
We are very careful not to change the log4j client API so that newer log4j releases are backward compatible with previous versions. We are a lot less scrupulous with the internal log4j API. Thus, if your log4j extension is designed to work with log4j version n, then when log4j release version n+1 comes out, you may need to adapt your proprietary extensions to the new release.
