As long as lib/vsprintf.c in the kernel supports it, there is no reason not
to use it. They're never going to remove recognition of this thing from

If it really bothers you, then go sick a kernel janitor onto it, because there
are thousands of uses of %Z, I know because I put most of them into the tree :-)
