django.request logger not propagated to root?

Question

Using Django 1.5.1:

DEBUG = False

LOGGING = {
    \'version\': 1,
    \'disable_existing_loggers\': True,
    \'formatters\': {
        \'verbose\': {

Ok, so the behavior is "correct", but not expected. django/conf/__init__.py:65:

def _configure_logging(self):
    ...
    if self.LOGGING_CONFIG:
        from django.utils.log import DEFAULT_LOGGING
        # First find the logging configuration function ...
        logging_config_path, logging_config_func_name = self.LOGGING_CONFIG.rsplit('.', 1)
        logging_config_module = importlib.import_module(logging_config_path)
        logging_config_func = getattr(logging_config_module, logging_config_func_name)

        logging_config_func(DEFAULT_LOGGING)

        if self.LOGGING:
            # Backwards-compatibility shim for #16288 fix
            compat_patch_logging_config(self.LOGGING)

            # ... then invoke it with the logging settings
            logging_config_func(self.LOGGING)

What is happening is that default logging configuration is applied and django.request logger is created. Then my custom LOGGING configuration is applied with disable_existing_loggers = True, but Python doesn't delete already existing logger django.request, but only disables it.

So I have to manually reconfigure django.request logger in my configuration. :(
