Like the sender's domain "arista.com" suggests, some of information is
geared towards networking devices, and ability to report OOM information
in a way suitable for automatic recording/analyzing (e.g. without using
shell prompt, let alone manually typing SysRq commands) would be convenient
for unattended devices. We have only one OOM killer implementation and
format/data are hard-coded. If we can make OOM killer modular, Edward would
be able to use it.
