Obviously we *need* to discuss, but just complaining won't help anything 
- if you think ABRT is not providing a good info for you packages, then 
please write me an email how to improve it (which data you'd like to see 
for specific packages) and we can sure do something about that and 
disable it in a meanwhile to relieve you from those useless bug reports.
