I suggest we enable systemd-oomd for everyone on upgrade, to follow
our
design goal of ensuring upgraded systems match fresh installs as
closely as practical.
We had thought about that, but one concern was migrating custom
configuration that one might have for earlyoom, which could be tricky.
If we're ok with unconditionally migrating to oomd with its default
config, that should be pretty straightforward to do.
