I'm not convinced either. The previous methods were rarely used (prior 
to their deprecation and eventual removal there was a static analysis 
done on tens of thousands of projects to get some data on actual usage 
and there were only a handful of actual usages). The only reason for 
introducing alternative methods is that there is a solution for the tiny 
number of cases where LogManager can't be sub-classes. So I think it's 
best to keep it as simpler as possible.
