Yes, in fact everybody following sjt-xft will ... I've already merged
it in my own space, and probably will commit it in a day or so.
This particular change has been in the air for a while; I personally
wouldn't object to an immediate commit of the % threshold to the
mainline. It shouldn't cause any new crashes, right? The worst that
should happen is the logic fails and you get gc every 10 seconds.
