<shrug> Not really. There are tradeoffs.
There is the generic stack dump on OOM so the module/line
is already known.
The existence of these messages increases code size which
also make the OOM condition slightly more likely.
These are generally used only at initialization and those
if you are OOM at initialization, bad things happen anyway
so where the specific OOM occurred doesn't really matter.
Markus' commit messages are always really poor descriptions
of why these removals are somewhat useful and the commit
could/should/might be applied.
Your choice.
