You have right to have this point of view, but this logic becomes broken 
later at some moment (when action declined). If you will follow this logic 
to the end, you'll print out meaningful warning explaining further actions 
needed or (Y/N) confirmation. As I already say, I have nothing serious 
against that variant (just found it bothering a little). It allows at 
least not stuck in the middle between the earth and the sky. But some 
random bit in the sysctl - this is apotheosis.
