I agree with that; it would (!) help the bugbusting team in gathering required information. If there is an way to automate crashdumps and proper reporting and stick that in /var/crash/crash.$date or something and tell people that they can report their problems on the bugs list where needed, we have information upfront. I still remember the time where we had to chase people to get this information, sometimes never being able to properly get the information. If it is there by default, it will help.

Please consider keeping it enabled..

Well, John's crashinfo(8) tool from Yahoo! does all this, the only "problem" is that it requires extracting the crashdump to a local file system. It seems like we have a lot of the right ingredients, maybe we can have a brain-storming session on distributed diagnostics and debugging at the Devsummit on how to find some better middle grounds here.
