I agree, this has already caused an endless amount of problems for
users due to the unexpected behaviour and, in some cases, bugs.

Dave's point is certainly valid as well, until we change the defaults,
distributions can use sysctl.conf. But I think we should move towards
changing the defaults.

You must do this via something like your suggestion, the
feature-removal-schedule.txt thing.

Yes, of course. But I prefer the runtime warning (at least on top),
my feeling is not many people actually read feature-removal-schedule.

Ok.
