From my perspective, this is the same concept as the port settings - provide some basic defaults and let users change them with patches. If I want to enable memory dumps on my local copy, then I can apply a patch that turns them on.

Indeed, I have a patch called local-dev that configures a number of things to make my job easier. But that patch represents my personal preferences, so it is not something that I would commit to the trunk.

Yeah,

there are several -XX parameters that are useful when you analyze issues or 
memory leaks etc... but it doesn't mean that they have to be enabled by default.

Jacques,

I agree that setting the HeadDumpOnOutOfMemmoryError occasionally can
prove usefull, but shouldn't an update of document be enough to create
the awareness?

Adding the code change kinda contradicts your statement and makes it
permanent and always on

Pierre
