Please reconsider it. > Why not let users set the behavior they want for this? Personally, I disagree that the user should choose what information to include. The report goes to Emacs maintainers, so they should pick the always-useful parts (say, the version, bzr revision and build options) and leave out the noise. While possibly still providing interactive commands allowing to insert the additional information in a follow-up email. I also think this is one of the parts of Emacs where backwards compatibility is the least important, so it's odd that the bug reporting interface hasn't changed much in years.
