@srdo I agree that we don't want slf4j-log4j12 on the classpath whenever
possible. The use case we have is adding hadoop to our daemon classpath with
all of the configs and everything else needed to really make it work properly
from an existing Hadoop install. The simplest way to make that happen is to
call `hadoop classpath` but with that there is no simple way to remove anything
from that classpath because wild cards are supported.
If you really don't want to switch the jars we use we can find an
alternative approach but it is not nearly going to be as simple of a solution.
