It's a bit more pedantic regarding .Bl list elements. This has an added
benefit of unbreaking the ipfw(8) manpage, where groff was silently
skipping one list element.
pages existed only for the dynamic sysctl interfaces. There's probably
more complete and accurate content, better advice, etc, that could be added
here.
Per scottl's suggest, add a small piece of moralizing text regarding the
fact that sysctl names quickly get embedded in system configuration files,
libraries, third party applications, and even books, so renaming and
removing names after they've been published is a tricky issue.

and remove sysctl oids at will during runtime - they don't rely on
linker sets. Also, the node oids can be referenced by more than
one kernel user, which means that it's possible to create partially
overlapping trees.
Add sysctl contexts to help programmers manage multiple dynamic
oids in convenient way.
Please see the manpages for detailed discussion, and example module
for typical use.
This work is based on ideas and code snippets coming from many
people, among them: Arun Sharma, Jonathan Lemon, Doug Rabson,
Brian Feldman, Kelly Yancey, Poul-Henning Kamp and others. I'd like
to specially thank Brian Feldman for detailed review and style
fixes.
