[Andorid] Why does LOG exist?

[Joe Bowser <bo...@gmail.com>]

I'm currently working on CB-4404 again and I'm wondering why we use
LOG instead of the Android Log methods.  This just seems like we're
duplicating code for no reason.  Does anyone know why we do this, and
if we can get rid of this class?  I believe this was an IBM thing, so
any old-time IBMers can probably answer this one.

No idea, ran into this issue a few weeks ago, it's confusing and doesn't
seem to add any usefulness. I don't think any of those old IBMers are still
working on the project. We could probably track down Simon, or just rip it
out.

Yep, I certainly have no idea.
