We at Google have some OOM wish-list as well:
- having an option to kill the entire cgroup when a contained task is
selected to die;
- recursive setting of OOM kill priorities in a cgroup hierarchy

I am frankly not the best person to talk about this; however if this
topic was selected I could plan for it and bring on a few notes :)
