Comment (by Carlton Gibson):
I think what's meant here is the default for **dictConfig** if
`disable_existing_loggers` isn't provided.
> If absent, this parameter defaults to `True`.

details
I guess the point is that it's important to provide
`disable_existing_loggers: False` because often the default behaviour is
not what you want. (''Why aren't my loggers working?'' comes up a lot
because of this.)
For me, it'd be worth a rephrase to clarify this. (We see a lot of
confusions.)
