I agree that this level of abstraction is the kernel's job. Deciding this sort of thing is best left for a user level tool (or the user with 'echo'). A generic set of tunables in /proc/sys/ makes sense, but deciding the best policy for a given set of parameters is a big problem and would be best solved outside of the kernel.
This is definitely the sort of thing that can be pushed to the user and should be.
