I disagree.  Consider packagers, who may build Parrot on a machine with plenty 
of memory and distribute binaries to users with much less memory.

Instead we can provide user-configurable limits through command-line options or 
environment variables, and we can catch malloc errors when attempting to 
allocate more memory and adjust the GC thresholds accordingly.
