Big +1 from me. It has been a great experiment, advancement, and also
help for 12.04 so far, and did improve the quality. However, after
12.04.1 there will be much less focus on precise as we will not have a
dedicated team for it any more, and the worst issues should have been
shaken out now. Having fewer people working on it makes the
cost-benefit ratio even worse. 

Apport as it was on precise (and still is in Quantal) has not really
been designed for usage in a stable release. For example, the rate
limitation should be a lot more aggressive in stables, and we need to
do something about the presentation of crashes that are not obviously
connected to the UI, such as crashes in threads and respawned
services.

Absolutely! Thanks Evan for all this, it's great to see this evolve so
systematically.

Thanks,

Martin
