Imagine arriving at a hotel where the receptionist gives you your room number, your key, and instructions on what to do if you find bedbugs. Or entering a restaurant where the server takes you to your table, takes your drink order, then asks you who you would like them to call if you get food poisoning. You’d think something was terribly wrong with this place.

It’s fine to have UI for configuring crash reporting, somewhere out of the way. gnome-control-center is a good place for it: I designed UI for precisely that a few years ago. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ErrorTracker#settings> But I think it would be highly inappropriate to *interrupt* people with UI that mentions crashes, until a crash actually happens — and especially not in the first/second/third screen in Ubuntu that they ever see.
