I think ABRT should avoid using debuginfo even if it is installed as it may be
performance-costly for the client machine and the retrace server can take care
of it better incl. by its use of entries caching across reporting machines.
But I still miss:
* Facts why ABRT is still stepping around the use of external retrace server.
* Decision if parameters and local variables should / should not be dumped.
(such as "bt vs. bt full", there are some changes of it in ABRT changelog)
- Possible security disclosure.
+ Better debuggability
(still not perfect, sometimes even a full core is not enough and one needs
a reproducer to be able to fix the bug).
(My current retrace client/server draft would need to be extended for it.)
