Distributions would have to triple the number of CDs shipped.  Most
    users don't know how to run a debugger.  This means that there is no
    debug information available until a developer tries to duplicate the
    problem report.  With or without cross-jumping, when the developer
    gets a report from a user that "the program died with an abort", he or
    she has to debug from scratch, only to find out in many cases that
    it's a known bug, already fixed in CVS for the next release,
    information that would have been revealed immediately by the output of
    fancy_abort.

I agree.  I find this a vert strong argument.
