you shouldn't change those numbers, or even need to.  add new ones if
you like, or make sysctl return the values of different variables so
that it appears to be something else, but remember that those values
are used by all sorts of things al over the place to determine the
capabilities of your code base.  if you change them to something that
no one knows about, no one's code will compile very easily

the top of main() in /sys/kern/init_main.c.
