The difference should be obvious: stack overflow is not (necessarily)
a bug, it is just an exhaustion of some resource. Like getting a NULL
return value from memory allocation routines. Would you claim that
getting a NULL from malloc also requires to "crash quickly and
predictably"? No, I don't think so.

Maybe. But given the current trend of removing more and more data
from what report-emacs-bug sends, I rather doubt that many users would
want to allow such reports.
