I've been talking about shipping that file in /usr/lib/sysctl.d for a while, but never got around to filing a bug (or doing it myself). We might also consider just dropping it, since this is in line with the upstream default. There's some bugfixes I should backport to 207 (sigh), so I can add a post_upgrade message to mention this once we figure out the direction we're going in. > From the systemd changelog: > * The systemd-sysctl tool no longer natively reads the > file /etc/sysctl.conf.
