[Feature Request]: Upgrade slf4j to v2.0.17

[pinfrederic]

What would you like to happen?

Following this ticket: #33574
Can you upgrade slf4j to 2.0.17 instead, because it brings less dependencies, see this link: https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/org.slf4j/slf4j-jdk14/2.0.17/versions

Thanks a lot

The number of dependencies for 2.0.17 is 3, which is the same as 2.0.16.

I think you mistakenly view the number of packages depending on the slf4j as the number of dependencies.

We just upgraded to 2.0.16, which is not a small step. We will let things settle a bit before moving to the next patch version.

Thanks!
