Even their "default" claim is not true, according to:

http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/coredump.conf.html

which seems to be for systemd 216 (sounds recent, IIUC), that:

Storage=
    Controls where to store cores. One of "none", "external", "journal",
    and "both". ... When "external" (the default), cores will be stored
    in /var/lib/systemd/coredump.        #######

And if we've been cautious with the partition on which /var lives, then
even that should not be able to crash through overflow.

I'll ask them to correct their webpage.
