--- Comment #9 from Lennart Poettering <lennart at poettering.net> ---
Just to say this: I fully agree with Zbigniew here: lower-level components
should not depend on higher level components, and not be client to them. We try
to stack our stuff so that higher level components consume interfaces and get
notifications from lower level components, but as soon as we start doing the
reverse we are doing something wrong I think.

I do not believe that coredumpctl and our coredump handling is the only one
true handling that everybody should use though. We implement a useful baseline
I think and cover a few things we think make sense, but I am not convinced we
really should try to cover everything under the sun a bug tracking system might
want to do.

Note that you can get notifications from the journal when something is dropped
there. Thus, packages could listen for coredumps on the system this way, and
then process them shortly after they happen, maybe enhancing metadata or so.
The resulting report they could then also dump into the journal if they like,
but there's no reason they really have to.
