I'm sorry but this is a regression, plain and simple.

Previous versons of Linux have worked great on diskless workstations
with NO swap.

Swap is "extra space to be used if we have it" and nothing else.

Sure. But Linux still works without swap. It's just that if you *do*
have swap, it works best with 2* RAM.

Yes, but that's not the point of the discussion.  Currently 2*RAM is
more of a requirement than a recommendation.

Um, do you mean "2*RAM is required, always", or "2*RAM or more swap is
required if swap != 0"?
