'Twas brillig, and Mantas Mikulėnas at 11/09/13 22:53 did gyre and gimble:

Oh jeez... has the ordering flipped again??

I only just rejigged things for the last time this flipped around and
now sysctl has decided to buck the trend of the other tools and follow a
"later file has priority"? I think consistency is good here (even if
conceptually, a later file overriding an earlier one "feels" better.

The order was previously "fixed" such that earlier files win for several
tools binfmt, tmpfiles, modules-load and sysctl in
fabe5c0e5fce730aa66e10a9c4f9fdd443d7aeda back in February.

Is there a reason why sysctl.conf cannot just be symlinked as
sysctl.d/0-sysctl.conf rather than 99-sysctl.conf and keep the ordering
consistent with the other tools?
