Help text

sys_sysctl uses binary paths that have been found challenging to properly maintain and use. The interface in /proc/sys using paths with ascii names is now the primary path to this information.

Almost nothing using the binary sysctl interface so if you are trying to save some space it is probably safe to disable this, making your kernel marginally smaller.

If unsure say N here.
