Yes, that's the only use for CTLFLAG_TUN _now_.
Perhaps in the future there could be other uses, such as a flag to sysctl to list
names which are also tunables.  Or some other creative use.

sysctl(9) says:

CTLFLAG_TUN      Also declare a system tunable with the same name to ini‐
                 tialize this variable.

While the above is not true or very ambiguous at the very least, I still don't see
any reason not to use the flag in this case.
