Why is this removed?

I've laid out my perspective for doing userspace oom handling and this is 
a vital part for system oom handling.  I know that we are currently 
discussing alternative proposals but my proposal is by far the most 
complete and allows the most powerful policies to be implemented in 
userspace.  I'd prefer if we would keep the patch unless an actual 
alternative is proposed and agreed upon, we can still discuss alternatives 
while this in -mm and this patch in no way precludes other mechanisms from 
being implemented.

So why remove this?
