Changes (by andrea):

 * keywords:  tor-relay oom => tor-relay oom 025-triaged


Comment:

 I think I'm in favor of keeping this for 0.2.5, since OOM makes potential
 DoS against relays and since we always have the option of disabling
 support for querying the system memory per platform if it turns out
 unreliable.  Adding 025-triaged.
