Nono - I want you to worry about it. But _I_ want there to be a
slightly longer term goal that's less about dictating policy in the
kernel and more about providing both the flexibility _and_ the
feedback so you and others can do this kind of thing in userspace
without needing to hack the kernel or recompile.

So Alfred - are you up to the challenge? :) Enumerate _every_ thing
that maxusers tunes at startup time and make sure it's tunable at
run-time? Once that's done, we can turn maxusers into a userland
_command_ that can be run _anytime_, and you all can bikeshed over the
tuning of _that_ thing until we die from heat death.

That way everyone wins.
