I currently have an MR open to disable crash reporting to
KDE by<br>
default and would like your input on the matter.<br>

Essentially we have a problem with users sitting on outdated
software<br>
versions, reporting crashes, and then getting their crash
closed<br>
because their version is no longer getting releases from us.
So the<br>
idea is we have a simple knob to turn on/off reporting to
KDE at<br>
compile time and leave it to distributions to toggle this as<br>
necessary.<br>

<div>Wouldn't the better idea be to have a "support end date"
compiled into the software, which defaults to the KDE value,
and which is disabled if a distro bug report URL is
specified?</div>
</div>

Yes! This is a much better idea. Then DrKonqi can say your software
has crashed but it is no longer supported and recommend updating if
possible.
