I still favor an installation file in /etc specifying the order in which
things are to be killed. Any alogrithmic assumptions are bound to fail at
some point to the dissatisfaction of the installation.
And this is not just limited to memory exhaustion. For example, if I exceed
the maximum number of files, I can't log on to fix the problem. If the
installation could set some priorities, they could say who to sacrifice in
order to keep others running.
