I think that the purpose of the this project needs to stay focused on
help us figure out which are the widespread crashers that are impacting
users in a stable release and should therefore be fixed via SRUs.

Therefore, I think this effort needs to stay targeted at *collecting*
data from *all* will users. I don't think this should be an interactive
feature designed only for technical users (who care to follow up on bug
reports or try to puzzle out how to solve their problems).

We should, therefore, minimize or even eliminate user interactivity, and
collect the minimum data necessary to correlate crash reports.

Cheers, Rick
