I would still like to keep the good old sysctl interface (well, at least
for tcp_frto), because I'd belive it is more familiar and easier to use
for many and not dependent of external tools.

Would it be too complicated, if sysctl would give the global default,
from which one can deviate using RTAX_FEATURE?
