If I say there's something “wrong” with it (is that different from
saying there's something wrong with it? I am not sure the function of
the quotes you use there), I'm not aware. I haven't stated the
printf-style formatting is especially prone to official deprecation.

As for a clear *preference*, as presented in the Python documentation,
for ‘str.format’ rather than printf-style, I'll continue to spread that
implication which seems a pretty uncontroversial reading of the Python
documentation.
