I'd actually never noticed "printsk" because it's new in 6.15, but it looks
to me to be a little more "special purpose" than "printks".

For a start it prints by default every k-cycle,  which is a lot of printout for
most purposes!  OTOH it does have a "%c" format that printks lacks. which
could be useful.  But if it crashes, that's not so useful...

I'd say just be aware of the differences, and use whichever suits the purpose
best.  (With printks the most likely.)
