It depends on how your applications are taking advantage of NUMA optimizations. If they're constrained by mempolicies to a subset of nodes then the badness scoring isn't even used: the task that triggered the OOM condition is the one that is automatically killed. At this point, I think you're going to need to present an actual case study where Andrea's patch isn't sufficient for selecting the appropriate task on large NUMA machines.
