extended info on things we already have: * PRODUCT is another name for BRAND/PHONE_MODEL * TOTAL_MEM_SIZE can be derived from hardware name * DISPLAY is also available by looking up the hardware * STACK_TRACE_HASH should make automated sorting easier new info: * PACKAGE_NAME is only new info if the user is using a whitelabel app * AVAILABLE_MEM_SIZE can be used to track users, but only when provided at high resolution, e.g. once per second or higher. Most users only send a single crash report. High frequency reporters send under 100, which is still orders of magnatude below what is needed to track users.

FAQ
- Why does F-Droid require "Unknown Sources" to install apps by default?
Because a regular Android app cannot act as a package manager on its own. To do so, it would require system privileges (see below), similar to what Google Play does.
- Can I avoid enabling "Unknown Sources" by installing F-Droid as a privileged system app?
This used to be the case, but no longer is. Now the Privileged Extension is the one that should be placed in the system. It can be bundled with a ROM or installed via a zip, or alternatively F-Droid can install it as a system app using root.
