Additionally, the smallest offerings of popular VPS providers have

Do we need to update the documentation for system requirements? Ping
cloud hosting providers that they shouldn't offer installing Fedora on
configurations with too little RAM?
There's also lots of SBCs with limited RAM - are Fedora users on these
devices supposed to reinstall Fedora every six months, since in-place
upgrades might no longer be possible?
Another solution could be to tweak systemd-oomd not to touch dnf when
running a system upgrade (perhaps through
python3-dnf-plugin-system-upgrade). When I repeated the upgrade
process with the second VM and I kept an eye out for memory usage, I
saw that there were more than 300 MB available when oomd stepped in.
Even installations requiring much larger transactions should be fine
as long as there's a swap.
