Disk quote is an artificial limit. If you remind each and every other
time this discussion came up, you *can* set artificial memory limits,
and that won't cause applications to be killed. But, of course, this
particular solution you do not accept.

Anyway, these are two very different situations, and comparing them is
silly.

If you want non-overcommit, code it and send the patches.
