>Description:

The sysctl(8) man page contains a list of all sysctl-able values with a
type specified. This is more or less useless information.

The list should either contain a short description for every value or
be replaced by a pointer to "sysctl -a" and a description what the difference
is.

And, of course, the list is incomplete.

>How-To-Repeat:
man sysctl

>Fix:
nuke the list?
