+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.
