Oh, I would say please no. Sometime we got tons of objection when adding an
necessary one, we definitely should not add one for possible future
use.

For this kind of newly added one, we need get ack from
makedumpfile/crash utility maintainer so that we know they are necessary
to have. At least they don't oppose.
