I did try running a browser with those values for some minutes and things didn't explode right away, but you are right that they are fairly conservative. Do you want to make them bigger in general or do you want a triplet like generic/conservative desktop/conservative embedded. If the answer is the latter,  how will we know which one to fallback in linux when overcommit is not on?
