For me I have 32GB of ram and it was killing my entire user session and dropping me back to the GDM. (It took me over a week to realise this was happening and I was kicked back to login losing all work at least 15 times, having to log back in produced a lot of log spam that hid the OOM message, I was close to having to reinstall or switch distro to fix it) I was using i3 but this was totally unusable for me and I had to remove the service. Does it just not play nice with applications that grab as much RAM as possible and free it when the system is under pressure?

Personally if this isn't fixed and OOM gets turned back on at some point it would be severe enough for me to switch distro.
