It's not clear to me why swapping would be a more dangerous activity, since it's mostly sequential, low persistence requirements, and most importantly... it happens rarely, less frequently than all the above combined.

And besides, Jolla already has a swap partition. I'm just considering removing any hardcoded limits to it.
