This may be true of developers or people with a severe crash issue, however
without automated collection, for most people it's just a unused space that
never gets used. 
For example how would the average user even access there dump of a crash?
And do we expect people to send 16GiB dumps to OI developers?

Your idea of using the swap area sounds like a good compromise, no extra
space used and the data still can be collected in the cases where it is
useful.
