Thanks very much. OK. I see... so it should probably be a request filed on procps (which provides sysctl) in order to have /etc/sysctl.conf changed in order to have something like :
kernel.printk = 4 4 1 7 by default in there. I doubt most users would need to have less important messages than errors displayed on the console. I'll file a bug-report on procps.
