One problem of ABRT is that it cannot (or at least not easily) provide the
core file to Bug Assignee.  Users always fail to figure out how when I ask
them for that.  I do not know if it is just not user friendly enough or if the
core files gets deleted from disk too quickly.

And developers (that is me) could not use ABRT so far as it OOM-killed machine
on a first segfaulted program:
	-fsanitize=address locks up abrt-hook-ccpp
	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1164548
It is EOLed again but maybe it works now on F-27 after my quick local
re-check, I will check it later once I have access to an F-27 VM (travelling
now).

Then the ABRT bugreport does not contain build-ids of the shared libraries
involved, only build-ids of frames from a backtrace ("core_backtrace") which
is not sufficient to reproduce the same memory layout.

It seems to me interactive crash core file analysis is just not a goal of ABRT
(which is what was the goal of darkserver).

And currently after my reassignment in Red Hat I currently do not have any
ABRT bugreports to investigate so I am currently not involved in this
darkserver/ABRT build-id crash reproducibility (I may be again later).
