Yeah, and for exactly the same reasons. In old days swap was necessity to keep system up, but nowadays you need it only if your dataset is really big (other than some weirdness in kernel, that actually like to have some small amount of swap to do cleanup and maintenance) And if you have that problem, you have custom solutions that implement memory hierarchy for you, that give you much better result, as they can work across all the layers (cache/hdd/sdd/net/etc) in much more effective way than generic, software agnostic solutions focused just on one dimension.
