I would agree with you *if* the change had been publicized.

I found the 99-sysctl.conf symlink accidentally.  I removed the
symlink and moved sysctl.conf to 99-sysctl.conf since the original
config was not being read.  This turned out to be a lousy idea since
the symlink was removed with the next update, which in my case removed
the original file.
