True. I'm personally a bit unclear as to whether we are trying to maintain binary compatibility with log4j 1.2.x. I hope so. I think we as a dev team should highlight that this is a primary goal of the 1.3 release or explicitly mention that we're not. If we are going to aim for compatibility then Jess' reports are disturbing (putting the tone of the email aside, the content is sounding valid at first glance).
Please bear in mind that we're in Alpha stage at the moment, there's still a lot of change probably left to go. I would consider what we have published so far for 1.3 as a "work in progress, comments please" type release.
