While messing about with "sysctl_tcp_rto_min" I went back and forth a
bit as to whether there should have been bounds checking (as did some of
the folks who did some internal review for me). That leads to the
question - is it considered worthwhile to add a bit more bounds checking
to sundry networking sysctls?

IMHO As long as the any value from sysctl doesn't crash kernel, we
should let it go. Enforcing RFC policy or inter-dependencies seems
likes a useless exercise.
I was thinking more along the lines of more fundamental things - like
precluding negative values when something is clearly a positive.
