> I've been reading these stories for ten years. About 8 years ago I started taking them seriously and stopped using swap.

Not sure what you're referring to here. This story doesn't recommend eliminating swap...

"Systems without swap can make sense and are supported by Red Hat - just be sure the behaviour of such a system under memory pressure is what you want"

So, it doesn't exclusively recommend it, but it concedes that there are use cases where it makes sense.

The quote I included made it sound like he was referring to stories that advocate getting rid of swap.

Yours might have been interpreted as they advocated never getting rid of swap :)
