Hi! I authored the PR for systemd-oomd. It was merged as a feature for "preview" rather than "release", but that was so the interface could be improved based on feedback. The feature itself was tested against a subset of Facebook's servers and it behaves the same as the stand alone oomd that we've been running for years (minus the knobs that were not implemented in systemd-oomd).

PSI takes into account cgroup memory protections so you can bias away from cgroups with critical apps by setting MemoryLow= to the appropriate values to prevent reclaim.

I'm actually not opposed to that.
