    (I meant to say "a" maintainer)

    Also, while I'm not an expert in Android, I think the "what to kill" logic
    there lives in userspace, right? So it feels like we should expose this
    state in e.g. /proc and allow userspace daemons (e.g. systemd, kubelet) to perform
    idle collection too, even if the system isn't actually low on resources
    from the kernel's perspective.

    And doing that requires some sort of kill(pid, SIGKILL_IF_IDLE) or so?
