The user experience is improved and I don't see any substantial disadvantages (power management etc can hopefully be fine-tuned). Of course the code should be well inspected by someone knowledgeable, if it's going to run with high privileges. And if there are serious candidates with a better approach (e.g. something from systemd), it might make sense to delay this and wait a while. OTOH, if verifying the code and setting it up is not that much work, those candidates can *replace* early-oom in the future, and no delay is necessary. Overall +1 from me.
