Doesn't matter. If something breaks real users, it needs to get
reverted (or worked around).

The feature-removal.txt file was a joke, and was used as an excuse for
exactly the above kind of bad behavior. It got removed for good
reasons.

The work-around might be as simple as creating an oom_adj file that
simply doesn't do anything.
