I was talking about vendors setting silly defaults. One can reasonably
expect _vendors_ to fix printks with wrong or no priority rather than just
disabling them all.

There's a lot of crap at KERN_NOTICE that could be sanely ignored by
default. Stuff at KERN_WARNING probably ought to be printed by default. It
can often precede and explain a crash.

There are more sensible places to send patches than lkml.
