%c{3} is used to output the last three elements of a name.  I've enhanced 
NameAbbreviator to recognize %c{-3} to drop three elements off the name on bug 
49010.  The Javadoc for EnhancedPatternLayout did not hint at the other 
capabilities of NameAbbreviator and still had PatternLayout's @since tag, so I 
updated those at the same time.
