That is a fork though; i.e. WildFly itself does not ship log4j:log4j.

A number of our testsuite modules do declare log4j:log4j as a test
dependency, but AIUI org.jboss.logmanager:log4j-jboss-logmanager is API
compatible so is it possible to instead have the testsuite depend on the
fork and eliminate this dependency?
