FWIW: I once more experienced abrt to send report without user consent.
This is completely inacceptable, these days - I therefore decided to
pull the plug and uninstalled it on all of my systems. I recommend
everybody doing the same, who is concerned about data privacy.
(No, I don't have a reproducer. These incidents happened several times
at occasions since I have installed f22).
