Longer term it would be nice to be able to have a service to upload the core files and then generate the backtrace remotely. Easy enough for stable releases, but not so much for cauldron with it's rolling state. It should also become easier when we have the journal more integrated as it can store core files for us and be integrated nicely with automatic uploads etc. All pie in the sky for now tho'.
