On these out-of-memory conditions, you might want to look at the kernel
logs for what the OOM-killer said about what processes were running,
their sizes, and who it thought the culprit was.
If the OOM logs show GB of virtual memory missing, but not used by any
userspace process, you might want

I'm calling for making Racket and package source transparently

I've been hesitant to comment on any of this, for three reasons: (1)

In principle, you should add a versioned dependency on "racket" to
indicate that the package does not work with version 5.3.4, and so
