I think this is really a request for apport, which shows the error dialog, instead of Whoopsie, which if I understand it correctly just uploads anything dumped in /var/crash to daisy.ubuntu.com. It's quite a neat system, and I may find these crash reports in /var/crash useful now that I know how to unpack them.

I have some other suggestions (I'm assuming that the crash reports are still useful without the core dump included):

* Add a second checkbox in the crash dialog for "include core dump".
* Add a warning beside this checkbox like "The core dump contains the program and the data it was working with. It's size is 4032MB which may take some time to upload."
* If the core dump is larger than a given size (configurable somewhere, maybe a couple of MB by default) then untick the option in the dialog so that it's not included by default. Or maybe untick the box by default in every case.
