log4j features and general readyness for use

[Stuart Robertson]

We're considering dipping our toes into log4j 1.3 waters for a not-far-off production application, and would like to get a read on the developers' opinion on what areas are stable for production.  I understand there are no guarantees, we won't hold you to it, etc. etc., but still, you probably know which areas are in flux and which are already probably how they'll look whenever 1.3 goes live.

We'd actually be using it initially as a backward compatible replacement for 1.2 in an application where we're experiencing the dreaded deadlock issues, which it sounds like 1.3 may help resolve.

Anyway, thanks for any input.
