Dave, slf4j is just a test dependency in our Ivy and Maven descriptors... Where exactly would you expect it to be marked as optional?

Maybe I have an old version, but it is marked as 3.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT. In spring-orm pom.xml this is what I see:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
  <artifactId>slf4j-jdk14</artifactId>
  <version>1.5.2</version>
</dependency>

Not test, and not optional.

As far I see, the change to test scope was made in time for RC1. You got an outdated version indeed.
