But if you're filling up all RAM and swap, either you needed to upgrade a while ago, or you're doing something wrong.

Not necessarily. When Ubuntu 22.04 had an issue where systemd-oomd was killing apps that touched the swap, something like this notification would have cleared up a lot of confusion from end users, myself included.

OS stands for "Oh Shit!"
