We had thought about that, but one concern was migrating custom
configuration that one might have for earlyoom, which could be tricky.
If we're ok with unconditionally migrating to oomd with its default
config, that should be pretty straightforward to do.
I think I'd rather unconditionally just move everything to oomd. It's
easier to focus on shoring up the experience with oomd than to worry
about earlyoom vs oomd experiences forever.
