I personally would prefer a setting somewhere that lets NB automatically gather exception info. Opt-in only to be privacy-friendly. An automated system that collects exceptions and counts how many are reported for each unique stack trace could help direct developers to things that should be addressed. I don’t think they should go automatically into the bug database. They should be visible to developers to triage. If the exception has been dealt with in a newer version of NB (this info would be available when the exceptions automatically submitted), the UI could indicate that to the user.
