After which it removes all of the code to all over the kernel that is used today to implement the binary sysctls. I am posting this patchset to give everyone a heads up what is in flight. I intend to carry all of these patches in my sysctl tree. If you add new sysctls to other trees please don't set the .ctl_name or .strategy fields in struct ctl_table, as setting those fields is unnecessary now and are removed by this patchset. Last I looked at linux-next is only one new sysctl that is not in Linus's tree under net/ipv6. David I will send you a patch in a bit to remove the unnecessary .ctl_name = CTL_UNNUMBERED line so that linux-next continues to compile when my tree makes it there.
