-	  Enable the deprecated sysctl system call.  sys_sysctl uses
-	  binary paths that have been found to be a major pain to maintain
-	  and use.  The interface in /proc/sys is now the primary and what
-	  everyone uses.
+	  sys_sysctl uses binary paths that have been found challenging

+	  using paths with ascii names is now the primary path to this
+	  information.
 
-	  Nothing has been using the binary sysctl interface for some
-	  time now so nothing should break if you disable sysctl syscall
-	  support, and your kernel will get marginally smaller.
+	  Almost nothing using the binary sysctl interface so if you are
+	  trying to save some space it is probably safe to disable this,
+	  making your kernel marginally smaller.
 
-	  Unless you have an application that uses the sys_sysctl interface
- 	  you should probably say N here.
+	  If unsure say Y here.
