I'd be concerned about this: the OOM killer applies heuristics only and
can never guarantee to kill the process that is responsible for low-
memory conditions, so if OOM runs at all, system robustness is no longer
guaranteed.  This may lead to unpredictable and nasty behaviours when
the platform is no longer freshly installed, extra packages and daemons
have been added etc....

Relying on the OOM killer behaviour for correct operation of the system
feels unsafe to me.
