Enterprises need to insulate their systems from "reporting upstream",
not because of an objection to participating in upstream development,
but because we need to prevent our users from accidentally leaking
confidential information.

Somewhere the following dependency chain needs to be broken:
ubuntu-desktop -> xdiagnose -> apport -> leak confidential information

Individual users are very well served by this, but enterprises are not.
