That is true, but the problem with these kinds of things is that users
will think that with a simple flip of a sysctl they are secure, when in
fact that are no more secure than before.  If you are truely concerened
with security there are many better things you can do to tighten your
box down.

With that said, this would certainly be a fun exercise.
