If the system administrators have the choice between 1) writing a shell script that echo(1)s settings to files in sysfs, 2) writing a shell script that writes them to gconf (which is more complicated and not as easy to test as cat()ing sysfs files), running g-p-m and gconfd, why would they choose option 2) ? Regardless of the rosy possible future, you need sysadmin buy-in to the proposed solution _now_. If you don't get the buy-in in the first, say, two Fedora releases after the code is introducted, getting it later will be much harder.
