If the system administrators have the choice between
1) writing a shell script that echo(1)s settings to files in sysfs,
2) writing a shell script that writes them to gconf (which is more
complicated and not as easy to test as cat()ing sysfs files), running
g-p-m and gconfd,

why would they choose option 2) ?  Regardless of the rosy possible
future, you need sysadmin buy-in to the proposed solution _now_.  If you
don't get the buy-in in the first, say, two Fedora releases after the
code is introducted, getting it later will be much harder.
