 to modify any `sysctl` setting, you should drop a file in `/etc/sysctl.d` containing the new values.
 
 As a first step, we have added a {Yast2::CFA::Sysctl} class which offers an API to sysctl settings.

 Moreover, it updates known keys that are present in the original `/etc/sysctl.conf` to avoid confusion.
