Eliminating tuneables is a *silly* thing to do, even if the process of tuning 
is 'automatic'.  As OS kernels and the systems they control become *far* more 
complex, giving the system access to dynamic tuning is a *good* thing to do.  
Systems undergo dynamic usage - at one point during the day, network load might 
be far more intense than at others, and the process load also fluctuates.

Even if the parameters are accessible to a 'daemon' like process which monitors 
the various subsystems, and updates the system dynamically through some kind of 
clean interface, be that /proc or sysctl (), or some other method.  Even going 
to the extreme of allocating specific processors to the task of network 
processing, for example, when network load is *extremely* high.
