Bikeshedding first: If you do keep the config option, please use PRINTF,
not PRINTK - vsprintf can be and is used by lots of code other than printk.
Well, on the one hand, I like to reduce the size of the kernel when
possible and ideally make all new functionality guarded by config
options, but OTOH, how much does compiling out the datetime formatters
really save? Also, I agree with Joe's concern about the need to select
it. Maybe if we had a gcc plugin that did %pFOO validation it could also
warn about %pBAR being used without a corresponding config option being
set. But we don't have that currently...
