Java 9 breaks log4j 1.2.x out of box. Think about how widely used that
one is! And its no longer maintained!

Sure, its only if you use MDC, and its not even Jigsaw that does it
(relates to version changes). See
https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/f01f15d3b8592db4210f725f0c37baff4a554a35/core/src/main/java/org/apache/log4j/Java9Hack.java
if you want a hack.

Its just an example of how much software won't work with java 9 out of
box. Still looking forward to it!
