Nothing breaks.  If something did, you could respond to my answer above 
and provide a single example of a real-world example that broke as a

Yes, but the proportional priority-based oom_score_adj values allow users 
to avoid recalculating and writing that value anytime a mempolicy 
attachment changes, its nodemask changes, it moves to another cpuset, its 
set of mems changes, its memcg attachment changes, its limit is modiifed, 
etc.
