The proper place for this seems to be firewalld, which should not only
control the individual sysctl, but also the more detailed forwarding
semantics (i.e. the application should request a specific, fairly
high-level forwarding scenario ("do a NAT of all traffic from
$this_ethernet and $this_wifi to $that ethernet"), and the firewall
should manage both iptables and sysctl.

I guess this is suggestion wouldn't be currently met with universal
approval, would it?
