I don't see a problem here. These are implementation classes (you'll see 
that AWT already makes use of lot of implementation classes from 
sun.awt, sun.security, sun.java2d, and more). Furthermore, these changes 
aren't introducing any platform dependent or native code that increases 
porting efforts. If there are ports that already remove these loggers 
then the effort, once Mandy's changes are in, isn't any different.

I haven't seen any proposals to eliminate the logging but rather the 
suggestion is that this logging should be re-examined because there are 
way too many loggers created at startup. For example, one of the 
suggestions that Mandy has put in 6880089 [1] is that there be a logger 
per core component rather than class.
