The OS though was dead long before it was killed by nokia.

Not a public opinion.

Technically speaking Maemo and Meego did not change a thing qhen it comes to oom. They left the defaults of debian and turned oom active killing off. So kills only happen when the min_free value is crossed. But I never came so far as the whole system would stutter and freeze when memory gets really full until it comes to a halt.
So in general the fine tuning of Jolla for SailfishOS is a little bit cleverer as I never got so far and always had a working device.

There was one thing Symbian did well that other mobile platform could learn from. Not that Symbian was the only OS doing that, nor that Symbian had invented it. Palm did that too. Execute in place. I will never understand why you need to load the code into precious RAM when you could run it straight from the flash and keep the RAM for things that need to change. That would also reduce the boot time from minutes to milliseconds.
