I care about the documentation because it is the best thing we have for enforcing sane sysctl table usage.
After looking at the problem. While I can't remove ctl_name from the sysctl tables easily. What I can do is check at registration time if a sysctl table is sane, and print an error message and fail to register that table if it has problems.
Once that is in place I will have no problems killing CTL_UNNUMBERED.
