For the special case of the logger, I kind of like it this way, because I can turn it off just by commenting out a single line (to get rid of unreferenced variable warnings), or add it by pasting in or uncommenting a single line. In either case I don't have to worry about removing or adding the import line separately, which can be quite far away if there are a lot of imports.
