As far as I understand it (feel free to close this bug if that is not correct, since it is the only motivation for this request) JNI causes a performance penalty.

Android 4 is here and Android 5 will arrive soon, and Android 2.3 is on the majority of devices. Some developers might want the additional performance SDL as a direct NDK-glued application instead of hassleful JNI-wrapped beast could give them.

Therefore, SDL should optionally not use JNI but operate as pure NDK app as possible since Android 2.3. (Personally, I'd also agree to dropping JNI completely, but I guess others might care more about old devices than me)
