That's a great question. I think you're right, we'd still want some
insight into applications that are generally buggy, but I would say we
want different views on the data. Currently, as I understand it, we've
got errors.u.c integrated with open source applications. In MyApps, it
could be either. I'd bet that proprietary application developers would
like to keep the specifics of the errors private to themselves, and we
would only maybe see a total of failures.

I think for a seamless experience, we may want to provide all relevant
information from the same place. Do you think errors.u.c could grow an
API that we could query from MyApps to provide information from there?
