I am glad to hear it. >That is why I truly do not understand why it is that hard to roll 1.2.18 out. I know there's "dist.apache.org, voting, site update, announce, etc" overheads. I understand why do you want to stop bugfixes and features for 1.x branch, however, I believe this case is special, and it does not really take significant effort to remove several `.java` files. > > Do you suggest log4j PMC should be paid $5000 for each +1 vote regarding 1.2.18? No, my intent was to say that for myself and, I can safely say, most of us on the team, this is a proverbial labor of love. I will expand to say that what I meant is that there is only so much time, effort and stress, I can put into a side project. I did not intend to imply a trade off. I normally simply say "volunteer" but I wanted more emphasis in this case which was, in retrospect, redundant of course, volunteers are not paid by definition. Yes, it would be nice to be paid for my "nights and weekends" and my GitHub Sponsor page is waiting for approval, but this is not my driving force or motivation. > > I can prepare PR for the removal of the offending classes. That is a non-issue. However, only log4j PMCs can vote and make the release happen. > > Of course, I can fork log4j and publish it under new groupid:artifactid coordinates, however, it would look really weird, and Dependabot won't know that my log4j is a solution to the known issues.
