Can anybody think of a good reason not to have something like
/etc/rc.sysctl that contains any sysctl -w's that you want to have run
before you start up a bunch of daemons?

There doesn't seem to be any good place to put them.

rc.local is too late, since things like keepalive, send/recvspace, and
others may need to be set before things like sendmail start up.

Seems trivial to add, and potentially useful.

(Of course, run levels ala solaris would solve this problem as well, but
that's another argument for another time and place).
