Hi Lennart,
I remember it and it's in our TODO list, but has a low priority, so 
that's why it's taking so long and we can prioritize this if needed. 
Btw, ABRT has a dbus interface, but probably not flexible enough to use 
with systemctl - it can give you the list of all crashes and then you 
would have to search for the specific crash "manually" and it doesn't 
provide an introspection, so you would have to either read the code or I 
can send you API description. And since systemctl is the only 
application which wants to use it you can send me your idea of how 
exactly you imagine to call it from systemctl and I can work on it 
during Christmas holiday and make the API according to your idea..
