I'm curious about this, because I (as a tester) find this facility very useful in reducing the time it takes to collect the relevant information, check for duplicates and file a bug. What is the clutter? If it's duplicate bugs, apport could be more aggressive/smarter about suppressing duplicates. If it's bugs reported against the wrong package, maybe we could improve the duplicate detection in Launchpad. -- - mdz -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
