Please don't. We already removed too much valuable stuff from the
report, and that definitely hampers debugging remote problems. It is
okay to let users opt-out by removing portions of the report, if they
want that, but if we continue removing important portions of the
report, we might as well delete the command altogether, because it
becomes less and less useful; soon enough a simple unformatted mail
message will provide the same info (or lack thereof) as this command.
In case it wasn't clear, I object strenuously to unconditional removal
of that info as the default behavior.
