Printf is often used while developping to inspect or debug code. It happens that these statements are forgotten and commited. We can prevent that by using a linter to disable them.
We have some cases where fmt.Printf was used to print useful stuff, like in the CLI. They have been rewritten in fmt.Fprintf to avoid been flagged by the linter.
