Hi Eric,

Removing the final keyword might not be such a good idea. Performance 
conscious users might want to replace NOP as their logging implementation. 
For them, the 1 or 2 nanoseconds eked out by the JIT compiler when NOP 
class is final might be worthwhile.

I am not sure this is a realistic scenario but the final keyword serves a 
purpose.

Is there a different way to achieve your goal?
