if any of thse scripts gets called (for example by devd when it notices
a new interface),
then the entire chain of dependencies related to that chain will be run

and not how the current sysctls are set.
if you think about it, this must be the case as htey need to change the
sysctls as part of
their operation.
maybe we should have a script to do what you want and also uses sysrc(8)
to make it permanent.
I don't think this is a major problem to be honest.
The issue I had back in January is that the behaviour changed with an
upgrade to 10.1 from 8.something as the interaction with devd wasn't
well known.
I don't know how this can be dealt with unless we have a load of
special-cases that log warnings when, for example, forwarding is enabled
in sysctl.conf but there isn't a gateway_enable in rc.conf. That sounds
like a messy solution to be honest.
