Django Logging to Syslog

# loggers for my apps, uses INSTALLED_APPS in settings
MY_LOGGERS = {}
for app in INSTALLED_APPS:
    MY_LOGGERS[app] = {
        'handlers': ['syslog'],
        'level': 'DEBUG',
        'propagate': True,
    }
LOGGING['loggers'].update(MY_LOGGERS)

What the reason of import statement at 1 line? It is not being using anywhere.

If you can comment it out and nothing bad happens. I assume it is a snippet of a 4 year old copy of the logging section of a project.
