Coming back to this (in IDP-1481), I find it a rather weak argument. Do
you know of anyone going through the trouble of unpacking the
distributed idp.war to remove Logback because they prefer to use another
SLF4J implementation?

That's a commendable intention, but the resulting WAR file isn't
reusable by Maven, thereby thwarting other people's effort at automation.
