Right, we picked a "3 dialogs showing up in a week" as a max rate, the 
number you guys came up with is under that but:

- you took the number on a 90 days period I think, knowing that most of 
the common issues would be stopped after 3 reports by apport. It's 
likely that the number of the first weeks of use is much higher than the 
one you came with and it's the one make the first impression (if people 
give up after a week because Ubuntu is too buggy we just lost them even 
if the annoyance would have gone down over time)

- we still didn't explain that 90% drop showing in a lot of the reports' 
curves

- the 0.4 report/week/user just doesn't match real life experience, 
nautilus and some other services generate a report every second logout, 
that alone should put us over that number if you consider users restart 
their computer once a day, and we didn't start counting any of the 
"real" issues...

Well anyway, as said let's move on, but I still think we took a 
non-decision to keep things the way they are based on approximative datas
