> The artifact {{log4j-slf4j-impl}} has a scope=runtime dependency on log4j-core. {{log4j-slf4j18-impl}} similarly had scope=runtime.
> The artifact {{log4j-slf4j2-impl}} has a scope=test dependency on log4j-core.
> This changed as part of [commit 8f63620875|https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/pull/1024/files#diff-d3ba9956a9f81420d0be3d69477a05b505746272d548ab17404aa47f3e5946b0] although it seems to be unrelated.
> It makes switching over more of a bump. Previously just depending on {{log4j-slf4j-impl}} was enough.
> Please switch back to a scope=runtime dependency for {{log4j-slf4j2-impl}}.
> Example:  we (Apache Jena) use slf4j in the main code base, and select log4j when it needed for binaries tests so we have multiple places where the dependency happens. We can change - but this may be a user experience for others as well.
