But this is part of the ABI to userland. You cannot remove sysctl files without long advance notice documented in feature-removal-schedule.txt (if at all).
If it is possible to add the paths /proc/sys/net/{tcp,udp} while retaining aliases under /proc/sys/net/ipv4 then that might be a workable solution.
