Comment (by ptone):
Looking at this - it seems we should be leveraging the settings.LOGGING
dictConfig more.
The current module level code basically ensures that our 'django' logger
exists in some minimum form.
What we are talking about for both this, and the deprecation warnings, is
some degree of implicit config requirement if something isn't explicitly
specified.
Meaning that even if we put the handler in the project template's
settings.py dictConfig - deleting it does not remove the behavior, if you
don't want it, you have to explicitly set it to a null handler.
Generally this kind of "I didn't ask for this, why are you giving it to
me" approach isn't desirable.
I actually think the case for this behavior is stronger for deprecation.
That is, if you want to silence warnings, you have to do it explicitly.
However for the 'django' named handler, I think it is a harder sell. I'd
be more inclined to set the default dictConfig for new projects to use the
streamhandler (with the DEBUG check) by default, and if the handler is
removed from the project's settings.py file, just ensure that a null
handler exists for the logger as is currently done.
