I specifically suggest that undocumented sysctls are *NOT* progress. (BTW, what exactly is specifically suggest supposed to mean.

The people who know what they do have obviously no interest in them being used or they would have been documented, so I'm in as good a position as anyone, since the person who has a clue doesn't care or has forgotten about them.
