Preliminary notes:
For never-expiring probes it is a good idea to have automated tests ensuring they continue to work into the future.
DATA COLLECTION REVIEW RESPONSE:
Is there or will there be documentation that describes the schema for the ultimate data set available publicly, complete and accurate?
Yes. These collections are Telemetry so are documented in their definitions files ([Histograms.json](https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/tip/toolkit/components/telemetry/Histograms.json), and [Scalars.yaml](https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/tip/toolkit/components/telemetry/Scalars.yaml)), the [Probe Dictionary](https://telemetry.mozilla.org/probe-dictionary/), and on telemetry.mozilla.org's [Measurement Dashboards](https://telemetry.mozilla.org/new-pipeline/dist.html).
Is there a control mechanism that allows the user to turn the data collection on and off?
Yes. These collections are Telemetry so can be controlled through Firefox's Preferences.
If the request is for permanent data collection, is there someone who will monitor the data over time?
Yes, rhunt is responsible.
Using the category system of data types on the Mozilla wiki, what collection type of data do the requested measurements fall under?
Is the data collection request for default-on or default-off?
Category 1, Technical.
Does the instrumentation include the addition of any new identifiers?
No.
Is the data collection covered by the existing Firefox privacy notice?
Yes.
Does there need to be a check-in in the future to determine whether to renew the data?
No. These collections are being made permanent.
