Comment (by Andrey Semashev):

 The current behavior is by design as the library does not discriminate
 between sinks added by init_from_settings or by the user manually.
 Removing all sinks from init_from_settings would remove sinks that might
 not have been added by that call previously, which is not quite the
 expected behavior either.

 Calling remove_all_sinks from the application does remove all sinks, so if
 that is what you want then this is the way to go. The only other thing
 init_from_settings does is configuration of the logging core by setting
 the global filter and enabling/disabling logging completely, which
 replaces the previous configuration.
