Platform doesn't use slf4j nor log4j thus it makes no sense to redistribute
them. I should add to the mix that there is the OSGi LogService which might
be the proper API to use in OSGi projects as it will not add yet another
dependency. I'm not an expert in the area so I would appreciate some more
guidance in case what I said is not correct.
