JCL 1.1 is likely to be released within the next 6 weeks or so (warning: crystal-ball-gazing prediction). So log4j 1.3 won't be out.
And the general consensus is that we will *not* release code based on compiling against 1.3 alpha. Instead JCL will provide a Log4j12Logger class that specifically supports log4j 1.2 stuff. When log4j 1.3 is released the plan is to release an update to JCL with a Log4j13Logger class. So whether you do all the hierarchy-swapping or simply delete Category/Priority doesn't make any difference to JCL. The only benefit to the old plan is that it was possible to provide one class that worked with both libs but we're not doing that as: * it means releasing now with code compiled against the alpha, or * waiting for log4j 1.3 which still appears to be quite a way off.
