Looks fine, modulo a typo in a new comment.

s/features/future/

I would say that 70MB is enough, but we're allowing for more.
The 150MB isn't really needed.

   # Limit memory available to spawned processes to ~ 150 MB.  Considering
   # that 70 MB is enough for x86_64 Fedora 16, that gives tools and libraries
   # plenty of room to grow.
