Yes, that would be a better answer to this issue. I was largely looking to produce an alternative implementation of the same thing with less core impact. It looks like it may have been too powerful for its own good, which is okay, since I didn't really like the sysctl idea anyway (though apparently the thing looks attractive to other people for other uses, which I don't really know much about, and am not really pursuing).
There's a push to fix up the capability issues ongoing that I'm getting involved in instead.
