We know it, and it would be interesting to know how our user base is spread, not to mention updater bugs.

I'll take this so that we can get an understanding of the values to look into getting more builds into Google Play (bug 1241114).

Comment on attachment 8772779 [details] Bug 1221646 - Report getInstallerPackageName() in telemetry. @liuche: bsmedberg seems to be on PTO and I saw that you are a "Data Stewardship Peers" now too... I want to make sure that this new probe is okay. I basically want to report this value in telemetry: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html#getInstallerPackageName(java.lang.String) This is some groundwork to eventually be able to publish Nightly/Aurora to Google Play (bug 1241114). Based on the return values of this method we need to either disable/enable our updater or let Google Play handle app updates. However we do not know how the return values of this method look like in the wild. Bug 1220773 mentions some of the questions we have and hope to answer with this probe.

Comment on attachment 8772779 [details] Bug 1221646 - Report getInstallerPackageName() in telemetry. https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/65514/#review63326 This looks fine to me, since this data will be used to get a spread of data across different channels. If this isn't something that we'd need in the long-term, e.g., once the questions in bug 1220773 are answered/we know the format of this data, you can file a bug to remove this probe as good practices for cleaning up data collection that is not affecting any decisions.
