</div>That would annoy me something rotten. I'd prefer an opt-in system, e.g. by<br>
adding a "Feedback/ratings" section to the application manager in which<br>
installed apps are listed and users can then rate/comment on them. That way<br>
if there's something especially good/bad I can go there and comment, but if<br>
I don't want to I don't have to.<br></blockquote><div><br>you have installed an app from the -testing repository.<br>you are therefore signing up to be a tester.<br><br>i dont expect normal apps to have this procedure.<br>

<br>
However, I do like the idea of asking people why they are uninstalling<br>
something, just as long as it uses radio buttons/listbox for the responses<br>
(so it's quick and I don't have to type anything if I don't want to), with a<br>
text input box for extra comments/description.<br></blockquote><div><br>yeah - crash feedback mechanism currently has similar<br>even windows server has this sort of thing if you try and reboot! <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
