I'd prefer to keep the doPrivileged in LogManager so that
Logger.mergeWithSystemLogger can call checkpermission().

 From a conceptual point of view it's only when calling
this method from LogManager that we want to be privileged,
even though the method is package private and only called
from LogManager...
