I don't want to start the bikeshed again, but would this be ok to create
a kern.geom.allow_foot_shooting sysctl wrapper for this and reference
it in geom(4) manual page (and anywhere else it is relevant), at least
temporaly until a decision is made ?

I can't find where this is documented and this question goes back
regularly.

I can make a patch, if agreed.
