Al Sweigart added the comment:

xiang.zhang: The use case I've found is that I often have logging enabled while 
writing code, and then want to shut it off once I've finished. This might not 
be everyone's use case, but this is a backwards-compatible change since it's 
currently a required argument. If there's a sensible default, I think this is 
it.

rhettinger: We could use sys.maxsize instead of logging.CRITICAL to disable any 
custom logging levels as well if this is a concern.
