This was pretty useful when we were running the testsuite in one process, since then it was pretty hard to figure out where the test crashed.  But now that the runner is in a separate process it doesn't go down when a test crashes, so you can tell at the least which test directory caused the crash.  If we want to make this better we could do something more platform independent to track which test in a particular directory is the current test, and then report that when we see a crash.  But I don't think it is worth much effort keeping the current mechanism alive.

I agree with that. I have created D41871 to delete the hook.

Also, note that the current test runner will already report the full
test case name if we have a crash (except if the crash happens after
the relevant tearDown method finishes, but in that case, the crashinfo
hook would not help either).
