I will probably add a note to the "your service is ready" email about
there being some swap, just so people know (if they read it, which I
know many do not). Just not sure whether worth mentioning on that page.
I think that sounds sensible, if only to prompt people to actually
evaluate if/how much swap is required for particular cases. Mentioning
that it's east to expand post-install would be good too.
FWIW I added 2GB of swapfile to the 1GB swap partition and the machine
is currently using 1.5GB of that 3GB total. It would probably run fine
without any, but having it there has let the kernel swap out lots of
very-seldom-touched pages and use the RAM for block-cache instead.
Cheers,
