Well, that's debatable.
(Personally, as I said earlier in this thread, I don't think
that each and every sysctl knob should have an equivalent
rc.conf setting. Only the most common ones. I think rc.conf
is already bloated and cluttered with stuff, some of which is
not needed by 99% of the users and just might cause confusion,
and the remaining 1% certainly would know how to throw the
switches without rc.conf.)

The bridge(4) manpage documents the sysctl in question _very_
well. Please read it if you don't believe me.
I agree that _some_ sysctls are not well-documented (but as I
said before: docs don't exist until someone writes them).
But the specific sysctl in question (see the subject line) is
very well documented.
