There are some good points around how limited the entropy available here is, but it entirely skips over who the fuck needs hotplug memory in the first place. That is a very niche feature that has no application in the vast majority of devices and should never inform the defaults.


It made it very clear - virtualization builds where memory can be dynamically added and removed by the emulator. I haven't done this with Android but it can be quite useful for running lots of test emulators, they can adapt their memory to the workload to not overwhelm the host.


So you agree, it has no place or purpose when running on an actual device.
