I tend to agree. I don't really see adding comments on the first line as 
being all that necessary or useful of a feature personally. However, as 
someone mentioned this has been in for almost 5 years and it's equally 
bad to break a feature some might have come to rely on.

I'm not sure I like adding a sysctl for something as trivial as this 
either, something along the lines of kernel bloat. But if that's the 
best solution to incrementally back this out then I guess it has to be. 
Perhaps this is something that should be taken to arch@ for further 
discussion.
