Yes. The primary problem I'm seeing is that even when it gives you a
useful backtrace, the bug report consists *only* of the backtrace, which
is very seldom enough information. Users have to provide information
about what they were doing, copies of input files, etc etc just the same
as in a manually-initiated bug report. If ABRT is making that difficult
or even just failing to encourage inclusion of the information, it's
useless if not worse than useless.
Note: I haven't seen the submitter's end of ABRT yet, just the bug
reports. Maybe it does ask for more info ... but none of the abrt
bugzillas I've gotten have included any. I ask for followup, and
generally the thing just stays in NEEDINFO state.
