IMO, this statement is important. Isn't it?

Hm, and underestimating too. Also OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN isn't any different
in this case. Say, all tasks except a small one have OOM_SCORE_ADJ set to
-999, this means the root croup has extremely low chances to be elected.

Other than that looks very good to me.
Thank you!
