And my point (you asked for comments) was that, this is only (the

setup/adjusting, especially for inexpert home/etc users).

I understand your point, and you are entirely right.

But it is a _completely_ unrelated issue.  The goal here is to not
overcommit memory and I think we succeeded.

An orthogonal issue is per-user resource limits and this may need to be
coupled with that.  It is not a problem I am trying to solve, however.
