As some one who is relatively new to Linux, and who has been reading a lot of Linux kernel source code for the first time recently, I cringe at what will happen to the readability of the kernel if this change is made. Many (of not most) of the comments in the code seem to presume that one can see those printk's; if they are moved out of the kernel source proper, making sense of it will be made just that much more difficult.
