The difference is that people upgrade (in case of fedora they get a
.rpmnew file) or install a distribution and don't wonder or have
assumptions about old behavior. In case companies integrate kernel in
products/appliances without a way to manage those sysctls we cannot
simply change them as this would break assumptions for them. I think
those are two different cases.
Bye,
