Thanks!

Avoiding negative logic is something that has been passed on as
developer lore but isn't documented in a particularly obvious way.
Yesterday I made a very small change to sysctl.9 to try to make the
note about -ve logic stand out, but in the coming days I will try to
take a more holistic look at style.9 to make guidance on sysctl naming
and values more clear.
