:But we already have sysctl.conf and appropriate rc.sysctl, haven't we? What's
:wrong with putting some useful payload into it?

Let me explain a little more. If it's commented out, it's fine. But
if you are actually setting a value in there you will override whatever
is set in the kernel. When people install new systems they do not
usually override their /etc/ files, so an uncommented value will
set that default in stone and prevent us from being able to change
it with a new kernel rev. This being a *kernel* specific feature,
we need to have control over the default in the kernel itself.
