Well, in that case you'll have to live with the current OOM killer. Martin wrote down a pretty detailed description of what's wrong with my algorithm, if it really bothers him he should be able to come up with something better.
Personally, I think there is more important VM code to look after, since OOM is a pretty rare occurrance anyway.
