Right, so I devote this bug report to this aspect, since it is both
feasible and helps to what you have in mind.

It's actually not the only reason, but certainly the most important
one. Others are:

 - Crash report processing takes a lot of CPU and I/O resources and
   disk space, which is inconvenient.

 - By the time we release we should already have the really bad
   crashes reported, and we won't fix the uncritical/seldom ones in
   stables (SRU policy). Besides, during the development cycle
   we get way more crash reports than we could ever triage/fix anyway.

Thanks,

Martin
