I still need to see how these problems even exist.

Kryo does its own logging not due to chicken/egg problems but because 
Nathan believes the complexity of an extra logger implementation is 
totally worth it if you can optimize out the logger.trace calls statically.
It's a minority position, and one that I don't share because if we 
really start to count function calls then Java isn't the right tool for 
the job anyway.
What happened is that people stopped arguing with Nathan and started 
writing an SLF4J adapter for Kryo, which seems to be working fine.
