[Bug 1564690] Re: s390 missing dumpconf service

[bugproxy]

------- Comment From heinz-werner_seeck at de.ibm.com 2016-04-14 09:48 EDT-------
The dumpconf service is required for automatic dump mechanism for the s390
stand-alone dump tools. This has been very important before kdump has been
introduced.

These days with kdump importance of dumpconf is not so high any more.
Therefore we suggest to postpone integration of dumpconf.

Lower Severity from "Blocker" to "high"
