Consider the following code:

private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(MyClass.class);

The "type may be weakened" inspection is triggered by this code, suggesting that {{Logger}} be weakened to {{Category}}. This is undesirable, since {{Category}} in log4j has been deprecated. Setting the "Use right hand side as weakened type" should solve this problem, since {{Logger.getLogger}} returns a {{Logger}}. But it doesn't. In fact, it has no effect.
