And if you find any such bad data, won't you let us know? Because, then
we would not suggest for people to use ubuntu-bug. Alright?

The data can be pretty meaningful when trying to estimate what kind of

which release, which kernel, and so on. So, nothing dangerous. But,
again, if you can prove me wrong, please do. Otherwise, try not to
confuse people, please.
