You can't mine the data until you have it, and having it is not an 
obligation to mine it. It's just an opportunity.

There's probably an unbounded amount of work that could go into mining 
it, but I'd suspect that you could get a pretty good ROI just by going 
for easy signals-- a rash of crashes on chipset foo on kernel x.y.z, for 
example.  It sounds to me like a pretty decent idea, modulo privacy 
concerns.
