As per https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1123660#c40 which reads:

The patch which gathers this data is set to expire collection in Firefox 43, so this needs to be reviewed before then.

Bugzilla doesn't have Flags which would allow it to track that far ahead, so...

RT, since you're the likely driver of this discussion, would you be willing to put something in your calendar or elsewhere so that this happens at the right time?

August 10th is our "definition complete" date for Fx43. I set myself a reminder to update this bug no later than this date.

Given the Telemetry issues we won't get release data on 39 and 4, we should start analyzing this data in 41 to assess whether we should keep it.

On Dec 15th we'll have 6 weeks of data from 41 usage and we could then make a decision.
Bug 1182031 tracks this also so I'm marking as duplicate
