However, it would certainly give us data on what people >are having trouble with. not only that, it isn't the person writing the script, or the webmaster that would see these errors, their customers and clients, and perhaps people that you do NOT want knowing your OS, build, modules, etc. This is a serious security problem, and a messed up build would make potentially thousands of these 'users' trying to submit the bugs, not knowing what in the hell they are doing, and could cause serious problems for everyone.
