| 1 | I forgot to mention that another reason that I would avoid the 2.4.23 |
| 2 | branch (apart from the fact that isn't quite finished yet) is because it |
| 3 | has no OOM killer. The OOM killer algorithm might not be perfect, but not |
| 4 | having one at all is dangerous in my view. I've heard of a patch floating |
| 5 | around which allows to implement one of two or three OOM policies. That |
| 6 | could be very useful so I'll keep an eye open for that. |
