The issue here is that "turning off overcommit" isn't just a switch.  
There are a lot of other things that you're likely to want to do, 
depending on your application, in addition to turning it off.

Matt's point, which he's not making by virtue of talking too much, is 
that you can't make a "no overcommit" system behave like an "overcommit"
system, and most people are used to the sort of things that the latter 
makes practical.
