I specifically said no phoning home _without asking_. It is fine to have an automated process to submit bug reports if you feel your software is so buggy that it needs it. Any competent OS will also have an automated method for submitting crash reports back to the maintainers (ex, apport)

That said, I would much rather that your software just doesn't crash in the wild. Ship less often. Either test internally or do a developer preview/nightly build if you need to crowdsource the quality control. Take some pride in shipping software that is good!
