I do not think so. If you totaly quiet up system, I do not think people will still require their names to be printed. I believe that 'quiet' option gives lot of sense - if you adjust loglevels just right, you'll see only if something goes wrong, and that KERN_CRIT message will not be covered by lots of useless copyrights scrolling around.
