Hi, I regularly go through most frequent problems reported to ABRT retrace server because it helps me prioritize bugs in Fedora that are assigned to my team. I've noticed a significant drop in number of reports in Fedora 22. It's just two weeks before the final release when many early adopters are already running F22, but the difference in number of reports from F21 and F22 is huge: 64373:904. 12 days before F21 was released, we collected 16081 reports from this version. That's almost 18x more. I don't think we're experiencing such a huge drop in adoption, so I investigated more. I found out several things which I think are a cause of this: 1) I upgraded my machine, and the new Problem Reporting in Privacy Settings is set not to do automatic reporting, completely ignoring my settings in ABRT from F21. 2) I checked settings in ABRT and automatic settings was enabled, so I thought something was broken because my crashes were not reported automatically. Then (with the help of Jakub Filak) I found out that this had been overridden by the new settings in Privacy. 3) Users are no longer asked if they want to enable automatic reporting when the first crash happens. So unless despite complete lack of any hints they find their way into Privacy settings their crashes are not reported. I can no longer even make ureports manually by clicking on Report in notifications. To report it, I need to do the full BZ report. With such a decrease in number of reports, ABRT is much less useful to developers and I think we should fix it: * privacy settings should reflect my settings from ABRT after upgrade. * settings in ABRT and Control Center should be in sync, I understand that the Privacy is master settings overriding app's settings, but there is only one app reporting and it's very confusing for users. * users should be asked if they want to enable automatic reporting after the first crash like in the last.
