Have you ever tried to explain to reporter that he need to reproduce the 
crash (which he has no idea how to do in the first place), then generate 
the backtrace using gdb? I did, many times, and I think ABRT is a great 
idea. Except for those duplicates ....

I believe that abrt's ability to find duplicates got much better lately, 
so it might be possible we will get another avalanche of closing ABRT 
bugs when F13 will go out EOS, but I believe it got much better in F14.

Best,

Matěj
