Yes, that blog post is incorrect. The blog post links to our Jira issue. I have updated that to add the recommendation that user’s use JsonLayout and mention that the SocketServers are still supported.
The blog post doesn’t allow comments and I see no other way to correct them. It is rather annoying since we had this discussion with Jordan at the time. However, the blog entry was posted on April 20 and he only came to understand that the problem was with SerializedLayout on April 28. He never updated it.
