It seems odd and perhaps counterproductive that you are making a case for
LESS abstraction where it can really help. It is probably a really good idea
to use sysctl in production against the day that echo into /proc is deprecated,
I wouldn't want to convert and test all that only when the time comes. 

Maybe you only intend to use it for online hacking; perhaps it's time to get
into the habit of using sysctl there, too...
