It'd be useful if this information was sent to the Error Tracker so that we can decide not to ask for a core dump from these crash reports. The "obsolete package versions" check is done by checking to see if the most recent available version of the package is installed, so if someone does not have -updates enabled then that pocket is not checked and "obsolete package versions" will not be present. This is desirable because the retracers will check to see if the package version is available from any pocket. So if we send UnreportableReason to the Error Tracker we can stop asking for core dumps and retracing crashes that will fail to retrace. However, the value for UnreportableReason is translated so this may not end up helping much.
