Indeed - it was to allow fine grained control of trace output that I  
was doing it.  I guess you could use a filter to control which methods  
etc. had trace enabled, but it seemed easier to use the existing name  
hierarchy mechanism.  Though one negative is that "traditionally" the  
last element of the logger name as output by PatternLayout is the  
class name.
