We too, but we define reliable differently. I want printk() to dump data ASAP so that it has better chance to get out of the system and onto my console in case of a crash. I don't give a rats arse about interleaved text, any text is better than no text.
So if you go add separate buffers in there that will delay writing text, you're actively destroying printk().
Any change that makes it harder to get text out is bad.
