I agree the comment is not the best, but I was trying to match other
entries in there:

enable_quotas="NO"      # turn on quotas on startup (or NO).
check_quotas="NO"       # Check quotas on startup (or NO).
accounting_enable="NO"  # Turn on process accounting (or NO).
ibcs2_enable="NO"       # Ibcs2 (SCO) emulation loaded at startup (or NO).
linux_enable="NO"       # Linux emulation loaded at startup (or NO).
svr4_enable="NO"        # SysVR4 emulation loaded at startup (or NO).
rand_irqs="NO"          # Stir the entropy pool (like "5 11" or NO).

The variable name was chosen to match "tcp_extensions", "log_in_vain"
and "tcp_keepalive" which are the other users of sysctl in the file.

I'm not particularly attached to any of it, just the idea to ease
jkoshy's non-root mounting FAQ addition.
