I heard that distributions ship some file, what's it called...
something like /etc/sysctl.conf :-)
Really, if someone thinkgs the default stinks and dists don't like it
for their users, they can use sysctl.conf to set it how they please.
Notwithstanding that changing this default can break working
setups and scripts. Yes they can "change", but they were just
(rightly) using the kernel as it came to them.
