Why?, due to limited write cycles?
As long as it is a modern SSD (years) or one of the old ones one with a
sandforce controller (OpenBSD dev let me know about that) then it has a
good 20% extra space above it's listed gigabytes reserved unusable for
wear levelling meaning this is a non issue even when full?
Unless he's worried about not being able to wipe the swap?
