RFC: Anyone using Logger::l7dlog, LOG4CXX_L7DLOG et al?

[Curt Arnold <ca...@apache.org>]

log4cxx currently contains a method and several macros offering message 
construction using resource bundles to support internationalization of 
logging messages.  Based on a quick review, it appears that these 
methods do not correspond to features in log4j or log4net and have no 
unit tests associated with them.  In addition, I don't think it is an 
effective way to approach internationalization of logging, but if 
anyone desires to get into that discussion we should have it on 
logging-general to formulate an approach that would work in all the 
logging frameworks.

I'm currently in the process of doing the long pending "Unicode" 
modifications and am expecting to defer porting or remove these methods 
and supporting code.  Is anyone currently using these methods?  Does 
anyone have any problems if they are eliminated?
