How will this work on headless systems like Fedora Server, Atomic,

Either that, or don't use too much memory, yes. I assume SIGKILL is
probably at least somewhat better than being unable to reboot your
server because your terminal is no longer responsive, right?
Well, I think you exposed the flaw in my argument. I say that on
servers, it's OK to kill everything rather than freeze, but killing the
entire desktop is pretty clearly not OK on desktops. So maybe it's not
OK on servers, either. I have no strong opinion here.
