The problem is that stuff like kerneloops and the RedHat 'abrtd' daemon tend to
forward to the distro, not the third-party vendor.  But I'm suspecting that if
Dave Jones and Frank have a nice discussion and work something out, we'll *all*
be better off. I'd not be surprised if Dave has bug reports for stuff Frank
hasn't seen, because the reports go to RedHat and Oracle never got a copy before.
