Cool, thanks!
1. Are bug reports sent automatically when programs crash?
Nothing is ever sent until you confirm that you want to participate, which is a one-time thing that looks a lot like this: <http://www.cs.wisc.edu/cbi/learn-more/privacy/first-time.png>.
Once you've confirmed that you want to participate, reports are sent automatically after all runs, whether they crash or not. I realize that's a bit unusual. CBI works by looking for the *differences* between good and bad runs, so we need to see examples of both for the analysis to work.
Please see <http://www.cs.wisc.edu/cbi/learn-more/> for more information about what we're measuring, why, and how we protect your privacy in the process. If you have any additional questions, please ask: this can only work if the users trust/understand what we're doing.
2. Will your versions of programs stay up to date with releases to fedora-updates?
Yes. I make it a priority to stay current so that my users are never torn between supporting CBI bug hunting and keeping up with new official Fedora releases.
