The incorrect/ overridden plug-ins can certainly be removed. They are
probably just cruft from the early days of development.
Historically AspectJ was used in order to inject trace level logging into
every single method in the JDBC code base. The logic behind this was that the
intent was for the driver to be used with generic JDBC tools where attaching a
debugger would have been difficult/impossible and so you would've had to rely
on logging to do debugging. This probably doesn't apply any more so you may as
well remove it. There may be associated entries in the license/notice that
should also be removed. But this was three years ago so my memory maybe
incorrect.
