Why tax other people with a warning/hang etc. in printk when the

I think there is sense in it if you do it subtly differently.
printk(".. if this hangs do ... \r");
edd_stuff();
printk(" \r");
So that we display it, do the EDD call, then write over it with whatever
is next that matters.
Does printk support escape sequences? The last time I tried
printk("\e[1;35m omg ponies \e[0m"); that did not went too successful.
Uh, no. Do that and anyone trying to interpret logs will beat you to
death with a pickled herring.
