A few of the new crash reports are starting to roll through for firefox.
Very nice. 

Since Feisty is currently a testing environment would it be feasible to
have the crash reporter automatically run retrace -d on crash reports
before uploading them until this service is implemented.

Once a test release becomes current retrace -d could be disabled.

This would eliminate setting up the service as a bottleneck in
developing methods for dealing with useful crash reports.

Thanks
