A bit late for that now, and AFAIK it hasn't caused people insuperable problems heretofore - the code has been like this pretty much since the logging package was added to Python.


> So it should be doable from `logging.config.dictConfig` too in my opinion.

Let's just agree to disagree on this for now. It's certainly not a common use case, there are other ways to achieve the desired result in those uncommon cases, and the argument seems to come back to "consistency". I'd rather leave this as it is.
