I think a tool that's > resulted in 2,216 fixes for crasher bugs is pretty cool. :) 2216/31603 = 7% With all due respect, to me, this qualifies as ineffective, esp when considering the communicational overhead/noise attached to them. IMO, the more interesting figure would be * How many of these fixed bugs would not have been fixed if abrt wasn't around. My (wild) guess is, not much more, because serious and reproduceable bugs would have been manually reported in any case. * How many of the "unfixed bugs" remained unfixed because abrt's reports are not reporting sufficient information to allow maintainers to investigate. As far as the packages I am maintaining are concerned, I haven't been able to fix any bug in my packages due to abrt reports. As far as I as a user am concerned, none of the bugs I had reported via abrt was fixed. In both cases, however I am experiencing the noise abrt causes.
