Can you update the description with what the configuration would look like 
after the change you propose? Also, when I first read it I thought that 
"backwards compatibility" referred to the 1.2 properties format, but now I 
think you mean the format we introduced in 2.4. It is the latter, right?

>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Configurators

> In the .properties config file format, several plugin types currently require 
> you to declare names ahead of time. For instance:
> {code}
> appenders = foo, bar, baz
> appender.foo.type = Console
> appender.bar.type = File
> appender.baz.type = List
> # ...
> {code}
> These names should be inferable by their first usage. Then the appenders, 
> filters, loggers, etc., properties can all be safely ignored for backwards 
> compatibility.
