I'm fine with the idea but not the way you did it, because if you're "serial
attached" this gets annoying quite fast. Although we could make this a config option
and do all kind of magic to set it based on that, I suggest swapping your idea: change
these through sysctl _after_ a successful boot-up.
the problem is: most routers are "in production" and not "serial
attached" - so you have really a problem if a node ("rooftop" or "solar
powered") dies during boot. if you are a developer, you can simple build
your own image and disable this option, all other persons (>90%?) like to
have a running/selfrebooting router when the kernel is panic'ing or there
are serious problems.
And those persons likely won't deploy a router with an image that fails to
boot, right? So what's wrong with setting these values after boot up?
