No, Bruce' was the only _public_ response I got.

I got several favourable email responses to my review request and
a couple from persons on IRC, (I remember that JeffR was one of
those) and even a couple of verbal ones from people I talked to
a the last usergroup meeting in Copenhagen.

There is absolutely no doubt hat the "vote-count" was distinctly
postive when I committed since the only "no" I had received was
from Bruce.

And I belive (but havn't bothered to keep close enough count that
I can actually check this) that even counting the two or three
"nays" we've seen now I still belive the yes-side comes out ahead
at this point in time.

So either I didn't get the memo which said that that adding a printf
call would require me to submit a project plan, cost/benefit analyzis
and go through the full one week review period for major changes
to the kernel architecture or somebody is seriously overreacting
here.

I suggest you and everybody else calm down and let dust settle for
a couple of days, maybe other people should have a chance to say
their opinion.  If there is a clear concensus that this is bad
(maybe somebody neutral should take a count ?), then we'll back it
out.

PS: Your email seems awfully biased against me.
