Enable Log configuration via file

in https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-core/blob/7766cc20cc03869520d7e35ee9eba31c572c552d/api/src/main/java/org/openmrs/util/OpenmrsUtil.java#L546, the existing log configure is removed and replaced by a hard-coded configuration.

Is it possible to add a a GP or java property that will bypass this modification ?
The point is to be able to configure the policy ( triggering policy) from a log4j configuration file.
