The Mac also has the builtin crashreporter app. This is becoming a
standard "feature"

ahem... "small"...
As a data point, all MS Office apps do report bugs now "a la
talkback" as well as Windows XP and Firefox (as mentioned by Alec).
I witness the difference it made in the MS Office team to estimate
the criticallity of bugs: huge!
So, IMHO, it's a fair addition to whatever we call release. It will
definitely generate very useful data, even from a high level point
of view (e.g. how often a given crash is reported...).

The only disavantage of callihng this release is we already have a
release version and it doesn't have feedback on python or library
asserts, which is what we need feedback on.

How about calling it "the release"?
This functionality can go out in release-level products - Windows
XP and Firefox are two that I can think of that have this
functionality built in to the end-user release. I'm sure there
are more.

I agree it makes sense for a end user debug version to send
info back to us
It seems to me that something labelled "end user debug version"
is not something my mother would ever install, yet it would be
useful if she reported
bugs via something like talkback.
