In last two weeks these components were crashing the most:

These two quite popular problems both contain proprietary modules so I would like to use this opportunity to start a discussion about inclusion of reports containing proprietary or non-supported modules in our statistics.
My questions are:
- are these helpful or not?
- it depends - helpful for what? - for showing that there is a big problem with some proprietary module? => yes
- to get it fixed by kernel developers? => probably not, they usually can't do much about it (can't there be a problem triggered by proprietary module which is actually a bug in kernel??)
- to make a point when trying to convince the author of the proprietary module to fix it? => yes
- should we exclude them from our statistics completely or provide a
way to hide them?
- exclude => no - add an option so devels can filter them out => yes
