I don't know too much about ME profiles, but my opinion would be to

Good lord man, bite your tongue! :)
I've worked a little bit with IBM's WebSphere Micro Environment and it
runs on the ME-type devices, like Windows Mobile, but it also runs on
Windows XP/2003. Obviously this is the opposite scenario, but the
concept is sharing the same VM with a subset class library
As for logging -- I agree with Tim, just don't do it. If we really
want logging, then just use AspectJ or the like. AspectJ can do
compile or runtime injection with the same aspects; at least it used
to a few years ago.
I think we've all agreed a long time ago that we're not going to have
logging in production code. The point here is to find a harmless way of
letting people do it if they want to for classlib development ...

Yes, I assume that we'd branch and park 5 at some point, putting it into
maintenance, and then just if there is a bug, deal with them on case by
case back into main tree.
But that's just version of SE mainline. There also is The Logging Topic
That Will Not Die, as well as capabilities and profiles for ME (if
someone wanted to do so), but I know almost zero about how that works in
real life.
