Perhaps I misunderstood, but I thought we were all already agreed that
conditionalizing this upon a sysctl that could be set only when the
system is at insecure runlevel was an acceptable thing to do.  I
mean, that's *one read of an integer* per check; surely that must
be acceptable -- Max?

If that is the case, are we really all arguing with no disagreement?
