Digging out this old bug, I no longer believe the RAM requirement needs
to be documented: We could document that users with little RAM should
enable swap space, but I don’t see a place where it fits. Also enabling
swap when programs crash seems like common knowledge not specific to
Guix.

Can we close?  What do you think?
