Alright, @garydgregory, I've removed the unnecessary generic parameter. However, this raises a cleanup issue: we now have `AbstractLayout` and `AbstractStringLayout` which logically should be merged, but this isn't really that easy to do without making weird classes like `AbstractStringLayout.Serializer2` or breaking backward compatibility. Given the existing tests we have for `EcsLayout`, there's clearly some desire for binary compatibility with basic Log4j2 plugins, and the abstract layout classes are seemingly one of those. What do you think? Should I try to pull up whatever members we can that maintain binary compatibility, or should I just leave it as is? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
