What do you think about such an approach: 1. We `poll()` the queue until its empty. 2. If there was any reference in the queue we iterate **once** over all the entries of the map and we remove **all** the invalidated `WeakReference`s, not just those that were in the queue. As of [my previous comment](https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/pull/3474#discussion_r1965597651), this seems a little bit inefficient if `loggerRef.get()` is not null, but is more efficient than iterating over all entries **once-per-reference**. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
