(1) implement your map as a set of sysctl nodes with a log.  when you
want to refold it, call sysctl_teardown() on the log.  alternately, as
you unfold the map, make a meta-map of each fold, and then just follow
your meta-map when refolding the original map.  warning: do not fold
the meta-map.  it will tear the space-time continuum.

(2) one would only put electronics components back in their boxes if
they were broken or being replaced.  if they're broken, just pound
them into the box, no one will care.  if they're being replaced, use
your newer and larger components to pound them into the boxes.  you
don't care, you've already replaced them.
