Ralph Goers resolved LOG4J2-2783.
---------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Based on performance testing it was determined that plugin loading time is
improved by deferring loading the Plugin classes until the class is actually
needed.
> PluginService should use a list of Class references instead of names

> The {{PluginService}} class can be updated to return a list of plugin entries
> that refer directly to the {{Class<?>}} instances rather than their class
> names. This would avoid the need to lazily load classes, avoids problems with
> module systems, and prevents the use of optional dependencies which makes it
> much easier to write proper JPMS-compatible modules.
