A feature people have been asking for repeatedly for ten years. Go scan the archive. I'm also pushing for a *generic* do it once solution so we never have to have the debate again regardless of what media pops up in future.
There are two sensible choices here IMHO
- The simple sysctl
- Doing the job right
A half way solution such as that you are proposing seems to me to achieve nothing other than guaranteeing we'll have another pile of useless crap to maintain forever as ABI.
