It makes sense to export the values set by tunables into the sysctl MIB, but by their very nature they're not suitable for conversion to sysctls.

So is what you are saying...
"tuneables should be converted at boot to read-only sysctls?"
No.
A tunable is just a mechanism for setting a variable very early in the boot process.
A sysctl is a mechanism for getting/setting a variable while the system is running.
It makes sense to attach both to variables of interest.
I can imagine some things that could be changed again once running, so maybe it would not be a cast in iron thing...
There is probably a class of variables that may need to be tuned before the system is up to the point where rc.sysctl runs, yes.
