Do we want to add such sort of sysctls "from time to time" when we consider one or another feature as deprecated? If yes, I'd group them somehow, e.g. by introducing subdirectory inside of kernel. Btw, kernel sysctl dir contains all sort of stuff which goes to "kernel" as if it is "etc". It already contains ftrace, perf, printk, scheduler, ipc. IMHO plain kernel hierarchy is not profitable in the long term.
