I'd worry a bit about similar issues with writing sensitive information
to disk in clear text. Although this is almost certainly less severe of
a problem than sending the same information to a public mailing list, it
still doesn't seem like a good default to me.
What about a seperate function "report-bug-with-key-log" so that the
user has to consciously make a choice to send this information? One can
of course debate about the name, I would just prefer transparency to
tradition here.
Cheers,
David
