[Dev] Dabo, Wax, others?

[Philippe Bossut]

If that's the only disavantage, I'm all for blessing talkback (and 
adding library asserts and feedback on python) as a new "feature" in 
whatever we call release. I don't want to sound funny but the number of 
existing users we will inconvenience or confuse is... ahem... "small"...
As a data point, all MS Office apps do report bugs now "a la talkback" 
as well as Windows XP and Firefox (as mentioned by Alec). I witness the 
difference it made in the MS Office team to estimate the criticallity 
of  bugs: huge!
So, IMHO, it's a fair addition to whatever we call release. It will 
definitely generate very useful data, even from a high level point of 
view (e.g. how often a given crash is reported...).
Cheers,
- Philippe
