The current heuristic, described by Adrian in bug 1297966 comment 5, is brittle compared to the newly introduced StartupCrash annotation.

We currently annotate startup crashes with a little rocket icon in some views. That's a useful thing, but I think we should change the icon somehow to indicate that the meaning of "startup crash" has changed. (Thinking some more, perhaps we should keep the old one for a while. I think the old heuristic will match a lot more crashes than the new StartupCrash annotation will. It would be good to be able to evaluate the difference for a while.)

Perhaps we can add a different icon for the "new" ones and use two icons for a while, so we clearly see the differences.
