IMO we should go with #1 (using a private Logger interface and then use an adapter to slf4j). I also think that an slf4j adapter could be provided direclty in the protocols project and used as an optional dependency (so you don't have to write the adapter in every project). The "right" approach would be to have a protocols module with the slf4j adapter, but IMO a module for a single class is too much, so maybe we can simply put the adapter in the netty module or in the api module and then declare the slf4j dependency as optional, so that users of the library will decide if they want to use the slf4j logger or instead provide their own implementation. I'm not sure if this plays well with OSGi.
