I personally like log4j 2 a lot (Because of Java 8 lambda support, cleaner architecture, etc.) and switching for me was really easy because I use lombok annotations to generate the logger. But what would be the "Killer" reason to upgrade if say someone is using SLF4J? For example HikariCP has this JMH Benchmarking chart on their front page that makes a pretty convincing case: https://github.com/brettwooldridge/HikariCP

So what sites are best to get syndicated on for this? I get a lot of my programming news from various subreddits for instance (r/programming, r/java, r/coding) along with Twitter. Otherwise, I learn about new things usually from java user groups or online presentations before digging into detailed tutorials and books.

At the very least the download page needs a mention of the EOL and a link to the Log4j 2 project, but it may be good to have a notification on every page. >>>> >>>> I added the EOL announcement to the top of all main pages in the Log4j 1 site. >>>> >>>>> >>>>> * Can we get other people involved in evangelizing log4j 2?
