> So, looking at:
> * the latest nightly uploader validation:
> https://gist.github.com/georgf/2d8cfccefbec1b89b54dd03f44d3ad2a
> * a cross-check to beta data:
> https://gist.github.com/georgf/0b33672f9492f07690827c6f2f196b47
> 
> From that i see:
> * Clients that have gaps:
>   * ~35% on beta
>   * ~20% on nightly before the changes
>   * ~3% after the changes
> * Gaps compared to overall ping counts:
>   * ~25% on beta
>   * ~34% on nightly before the changes
>   * ~11% on nightly after the changes
> 
> Possible explanations for the current status:
> * some bad clients on Nightly lead to real high gap counts
> * the client is skipping sequence numbers
> * the client is dropping pings
> * my analysis is overcounting gaps

...
> Another explanation:
> Currently Fennec Nightly is sending Telemetry from automation (with not so
> normal behavior), which might explain those numbers.

...
> This will be fixed in bug 1270191.

Just an FYI that we're no longer uploading in automation on 49 (bug 1270191).
