Can we drop the "NG" from the module name now?

Yeah - I dropped the OG version a long time ago. The only places I see Flume-NG still used in the Flume project are on the wiki - https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLUME/Flume+NG, and https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLUME/Getting+Started.

Hm... I wonder if changing the Maven artifact ID from log4j-flume-ng to
log4j-flume will cause some jar hell problem since we are not also renaming
the package.

If you change the package name it will force anyone who has customized it to make code changes. Their may not be anybody but I’m not a big fan of taking the chance for so little benefit.

Right, we should only change both or none. And there is no BC issue to justify the change. So, do nothing.
