Let me implement the changes I mentioned earlier as they represent a step 
forward. These changes will allow your library (or component) to depend on 
slf4j-api and nothing else. If my solution still does not meet your 
requirements, we can come back to this discussion.

Good point. However, the existing approach has served us well in the past. 
Granted, it's a pain on people developing binding but simple on our users. 
Of course, there is the multiple-dependency problem which will be fixed 
shortly.
