I fight it in this thread actually because my memory values for each subsystem is very carefully chosen to divide memory optimally on the server between applications. So if application starts changing this memory as it wants and I cannot prevent it, my memory optimization goes to hell...

If it were only my problem, I can make a workaround. But I think there are others admins, who trust the system not to exceed defined quotas. Trusted system is a big thing. System that cannot be trusted is a bad thing.
