The point of memory-limit was to enable features useful for users.
If memory-limit doesn't work any more, those features don't either.

What exactly were those features?  What problems did they help
users deal with?

Are they completely unnecessary now?  If not, can we make them
function again?  Or provide other features to deal with the same
problems?
