Machines come with dozens of gigs of RAM now. I'm not sure there's
much argument for swap at all, and personally, I use tmpfs for
better performance and a self-cleaning /tmp tree.
New machines come with dozens of gigs of ram.
Exactly, but old one don't and old ones often can not even be upgraded.
That said, consider many so-far-WinXP users currently are trying to
migrate to other OSes. I can't deny finding it poor, Fedora is not an
option to many of them, because of Fedora's memory requirements [1].

RAM, but is hardly installable because the installer requires somewhat
less than 1GB RAM.
