My heart skipped a bit when I read it 😅 I was the one whose testimony was included in v3 or v4 of MGLRU patches (which I sent in turn because I was afraid the patchset will linger for the next ½-decade on the MLs), and despite deficiencies mentioned in the article MGLRU immensely improves experience for low-memory systems (and besides, nowadays, the definition of "low-memory systems" is more vague than one would think).

This probably meant to says "not enabled on many Android systems"…?

Because as far as desktop Linux goes, MGLRU AFAIR is enabled in most major distros. Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu — just off the top of my head.
