printk-time is really just a debugging/development thing - it doesn't try to be serious.

Plus syslogd already adds timestamps. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
