Q: 

Category VS logger tags in jboss-log4j.xml

What should we use in jboss-log4j.xml in order to turn on/off traces for our product - "category" or "logger" tag?

By default JBoss uses "category" in jboss-log4j.xml.
But as far as I know "category" is deprecated and "logger" should be used instead.
Why JBoss uses deprecated "category" tag in a new product?

A: 

Habit, I suspect. I still to use category also. It behaves exactly the same as logger, there really is no difference.
