The tunable is deprecated.  If you are really that concerned about the 
existing users who you don't think can convert in the next two years, why 
don't you help them convert?  That fixes the issue, but you're not 
interested in that.  I offered to convert any open-source users you can 
list (the hardest part of the conversion is finding who to send patches to 
:).  You're only interested in continuing to assert your position as 
correct even when the kernel is obviously moving in a different direction.

Others may have a different opinion of who is being childish in this whole 
ordeal.
