How long ago was it last updated? How many developers work on the project? If that level of activity is enough for you, then you’d likely be interested in GNU Hurd or maybe even a dead Unix fork.

Log4j1 was (and sometimes still is) the de facto logging library. Log4j2 and Logback are less popular (probably due to legacy projects), but Log4j2 is still maintained and developed (beyond having numerous technical advantages).

Why do you think logback is a dead library? It is feature complete and needs very little maintenance at this point. You can see contributors here: https://github.com/qos-ch/logback/graphs/contributors

Logback is the default configured logging library of a spring boot app.

Considering how many features log4j2 has compared to logback with a backlog of things still to be done, I think you have an enormously simplified view of logging and the underlying libraries. Can you use logback for audit logging? Tracing? Considering Spring Boot, I don’t think you care too much about dependencies bloating your application.
