[logback-user] Context selectors useful?

[Mense, Holger]

I am developing a multi threaded application, which can be executed all 
together in one JVM or in several JVMs. In order to have the possibility
of 
different logback configurations and the same log behaviour in different
runtime environments I am using my own ContextSelector, which 
decides on behalf of the source thread, where the log request comes
from, 
which LoggerContext should be used for the log event.

So I would not like to see ContextSelector support gone in SLF4J or
Logback.
