In the last section of the F16 System Administrator's Guide it says that
sysctl is run by executing the rc.sysinit script against the parameters
in sysctl.conf.

Now there is no /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit script in F16 so that leaves me
with two questions:
1: Who should I send the suggestion to that the section should be
changed?
2. I know I have seen it somewhere but what system program runs sysctl
to set the kernel parameters?

systemd of course!

If you're just worried about setting them at boot, see "man sysctl.d".

If you want to know how this works in detail, see
/lib/systemd/system/systemd-sysctl.service and
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/tree/src/sysctl.c You can also
see all the systemd units that make up the former rc.sysinit with the
following command:
systemctl show -p Wants sysinit.target

-T.C.

One possible reason that things aren't going according to plan is that
