+What: sys_sysctl
+When: January 2007
+Why: The same information is available through /proc/sys and that is the
+ interface user space prefers to use. And there do not appear to be
+ any existing user in user space of sys_sysctl. The additional
+ maintenance overhead of keeping a set of binary names gets
+ in the way of doing a good job of maintaining this interface.
