One advantage of automated collection (or semi-automated like ABRT) is
that given enough crashes, it can be easier to track down the root
cause.  So it's useful to have the report logged, even if we can't
take immediate action on it.

Then keep it around until it becomes useful.

So for the reasons above there's no problem with leaving the report in
the system.  Remember also that a certain percentage of crashes are
going to happen simply due to bad hardware.  We have to accept noise
in the system.  Crashes aren't bugs; they're crashes that may be bugs.
