Sounds like a good thing to me. If we document this (and the bit that I sent in my other email) in sysctl(8), or somewhere more appropriate, then I think we can do this. I propose that we put a single _ in front of those sysctls that the author knows will go away and that no code should be written to use them. this would give the unstable namespace that you want and would be consistant with what _foo() functions are for. Not sure if that means everything else is permanant, however. I'm hoping this doesn't result in a bikeshed of doom. Warner
