Since I'm not building crippled kernel packages, I suspect
the memory and cpu limits are just _support_ limitations.

Since 16 and 32GB systems are used for heavier workloads,
they tend to generate much more support calls than smaller
systems.

If you're just running the software and not planning on
having Red Hat support fix your database configuration
problems for you, the ES and WS bits should work just fine.
