You have to know what you will get in the end. In my opinion it is
strongly recommended. You could begin with something easier, for
example, configuring your shell or text editor.

Sysctl is used in order to give kernel some default parameters to work.
The most common cases to use it:
- to allow packets redirection
- to enable/disable ipv6 support
- to change console behavior and printk output.
..and so on, so on...

Do you really need some of this?
