> It would be great if the system could capture stack backtraces, etc,

Getting working backtraces in Diablo and earlier requires getting full
core dumps or devices containing debug symbols for everything (they
don't fit there) because the binaries don't contain frame pointers.
I.e. doing like Ubuntu apport or Windows minidump is not possible on
the devices.

Core dumps have more privacy issues (core contains whole process memory
which may include passwords) than sending just backtrace addresses.
I.e. this kind of a feature should be opt-in, not opt-out...

This is being worked on, for now moving to Tools.
