yes, but those bugs are usually the reason why maintainers are 
complaining about ABRT.. reporter doesn't know how to reproduce, devel 
doesn't know either so the bug stays open until the release EOL without 
any progress and both maintainer and reporter are just frustrated they 
had to spend time on it...

on the other hand I agree that silencing ABRT is not a way to go, I'd 
rather see some ideas/hints of how to improve the reports for specific 
packages so devels are willing to look at them...

e.g.: If evo is added to blacklist without any hints how to make ABRT 
reports usable for evo (yes I have few and they should be in F15), then 
it will just stay in the blacklist forever and nothing gets improved.. 
and after some time we'll have 99% of the packages blacklisted because 
it's just sooo convenient ...
