mvn dependency:tree reveals that SLF4J is a dependency of Rampart and the VFS transport. In the case of Rampart this is probably related to the introduction of OpenSAML2. In the case of the VFS transport, this dependency is somehow related to MINA and this is probably a left over from the split of the transports into separate modules. At least I don't see any of the default VFS providers that depend on MINA. Probably this dependency was introduced for the qpid transport and then moved from the root POM to synapse-transports and later to synapse-vfs-transport.
