Gary Gregory resolved LOG4J2-1540.
----------------------------------
       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: 2.7

All appenders created with a Configuration object in their respective factories now pass that configuration's logger context to the managers they create. If an appender is not given a Configuration, it cannot set the logger context for its manager and it will be null.

A future task could be to add Configurations to all appenders to that they can  pass logger contexts to their managers. Does this fall in the YAGNI category or is it just odd that {{AbstractManager.getLoggerContext()}} returns null if some advanced user needs it? IOW, should we update all of our own appenders to take a Configuration?
