    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.
