If we put this into rc.conf, it suggests that you can really switch  
the emulated linux version. This is not the case. This is a sysctl to  
help testing the upcomming linuxulator behavior (developers + testers  
+ bleeding-edge users only). At some point we will switch to 2.6  
emulation by default. Unfortunately some ports already depend upon 2.6  
emulation.

Bye,
