Making the SLF4J Logger serializable doesn't imply that the Log4j Logger needs to be Serializable. Since the Loggers in both Logback and the SLF4J wrapper to Log4j 1.x are Serializable it seems obvious to me that the SLF4J to Log4j 2 Logger should also be.
As for the Log4j 2 Logger it might make sense to also have that be Serializable as well just to limit restrictions on where it can be used.
