Proposed changes to logging defaults

Some changes are being proposed to how logging works in default
configurations.

Briefly - when a logging event occurs which needs to be output to some
log, the behaviour of the logging package when no explicit logging
configuration is provided will change, most likely to log those events
to sys.stderr with a default format.

Since this proposed change to behaviour is backwards-incompatible (and
scheduled to come in to Python 3.2 - earlier Pythons, including 2.X,
are unaffected), you may be interested in seeing if the changes affect
you. More details are available here:
