I'd say that it's getting close to just being able to turn it on by
default.  A lot of the really verbose offenders have been annotated
now, drivers/ieee1394, drivers/scsi, drivers/message and some of the
older areas of drivers/net will get noisy, I was going to send an RFC
for 2.6.29 and continue to chip away at the output.
