Yeah, it just allows you to avoid reading memory.current to just reclaim everything if you can specify "max" - you're still protected by nretries to eventually bail out. Mostly, though I just feel like supporting "max" makes memory.reclaim semetric with a lot of the cgroup memory control files which tend to support "max".
