Maybe you can get rid of heap_chunk_in_mb but it's still not clear that
we can get rid of heap_slop_in_mb.  The strange allocation in 2003 and
later is a problem and just because we had nobody complaining for a
while doesn't mean the current slop value is always sufficient.  I'm for
keeping this option.

Red Hat *is* the owner of the code, regardless of the registry key you
want to use.  I know that you have mixed feelings about Red Hat,
however, assuming the code is owned by the FSF, would you object against
a parent key name of FSF as well?
