To summarize, autotest heavily changes the loggers of its application and
core libraries to make it possible to transparently use

import logging

logging.info('foo')

So that users and test writers don't have to. The base of this convoluted
logging setup was written a good 10 years ago, if I recall correctly.

Nowadays we can simplify that custom handling, making it easier for
applications that only use autotest as a library, in this case, virt-test.
Lukas wants to propose this set of changes but was wondering how many
people nowadays run virt-test using autotest instead of using avocado, to
estimate the impact of the changes.
