"There's already too many operating systems in major
use today that take the assumption that the computer
is smarter than the person using it. No matter how
right that assumption sometimes is, it shouldn't be
done. It makes the computer a reliance or a necessity
rather than a tool doing a job. It certainly doesn't
make the user any smarter."
Very well said.
If we put it back to the Linux context, I think the OOM killer (either from Rik
or Andreas) may still be useful for some, and I think the implementation of OOM
killer ought to be available as an elective,
ie. The OOM killer be available as a toggle
-able function on kernel compile time,
or Available as an add-on module (or daemon).
