Okay. I would by the way not be against turning the timestamping off by default and turning it _on_ with a "timestamps" or "logtime" or whatever option. The information is sometimes handy for seeing the (clustering of) event times so I've been compiling it in for a while on some boxes but in the majority case for me it's noise taking up printk real estate...
