73What: sys_sysctl
74When: January 2007
75Why: The same information is available through /proc/sys and that is the
76 interface user space prefers to use. And there do not appear to be
77 any existing user in user space of sys_sysctl. The additional
78 maintenance overhead of keeping a set of binary names gets
79 in the way of doing a good job of maintaining this interface.
