I tend to agree. I don't really see adding comments on the first line as
being all that necessary or useful of a feature personally. However, as
someone mentioned this has been in for almost 5 years and it's equally
bad to break a feature some might have come to rely on.
I'm not sure I like adding a sysctl for something as trivial as this
either, something along the lines of kernel bloat. But if that's the
best solution to incrementally back this out then I guess it has to be.
Perhaps this is something that should be taken to arch@ for further
discussion.
