The sections model I'm particularly interested in would associated MIB entries with kernel modules, so that on loading a module (perhaps just in boot, perhaps more generally), those settings would be set after kldload returned. Of course, modules can get loadeed in a variety of ways (mount, etc) so we might have to think a bit more.
