I have asked her to make this change.

I don't like the extra conditional dance it causes, but I agree that
not wanting to log is a valid use case.

On the other hand, the one-time import cost is pretty low for a
long-running process, and eventually gets paid if any other module
calls logging.  Would it make more sense to offer a null package that
can be installed earlier in the search path if you want to truly
disable logging?
