Because the user  is not provided with an easy
way to generate the crash report with a full stack dump
of all the CPUS, the full contents of RAM and the full
kernel binary - so that the dev (who would work on the report)
can do a reasonable stack trace. Kernel source is obtainable
easily enough, ditto with the source of the "tainting" modules.


Also, how about abrt CREATE the full report, and let the user
save it  in a file, and submit it to anyone s/he desires?
Is THAT too much to ask for???
