We've discussed particular ways of doing this previously and not got
very far, its true. I think we need to separate problem identification
from problem resolution, so we can get past the first stage and look for
solutions.

This is my longest running outstanding problem with managing Postgres on
operational systems.

Sure, OOM killer sucks. So there's two problems, not one.
