The Linux kernel contains a large number of tunables; these often take the form of sysctl(8) parameters, and are usually introduced for situations where there is no one "right" answer for a configuration choice.

These trends - system complexity combined with minimal admin interaction suggest a rethink in terms of tunable management.
