the various bugs you undoubtly run into every now and then have the
highest chance to be fixed quickly, then it's a good thing if the
people who provide you with the software can determine with minimal
effort what a coredump or minimal backtrace actually belongs to. And
the price for improving the life of your distro developers is just a
few 100K on your disk. So while you might not benefit immediately, you
will benefit in the long run.
I think the most popular distributions should install and enable the
automatic coredumps analyzer, like Fedora has[1]. It will help much more.
