The following histograms will be expiring on 2017-09-20, and should be removed from the codebase, or have their expiry versions updated:

* CHECKERBOARD_DURATION expires in version 58.0a1 (watched by kgupta@mozilla.com) - Duration of a checkerboard event in milliseconds
* CHECKERBOARD_PEAK expires in version 58.0a1 (watched by kgupta@mozilla.com) - Peak number of CSS pixels checkerboarded during a checkerboard event (the high value is the size of a 4k display with max APZ zooming)
* CHECKERBOARD_POTENTIAL_DURATION expires in version 58.0a1 (watched by kgupta@mozilla.com) - Duration of a chunk of time (in ms) that could reasonably have had checkerboarding
* CHECKERBOARD_SEVERITY expires in version 58.0a1 (watched by kgupta@mozilla.com) - Opaque measure of the severity of a checkerboard event
* COMPOSITOR_ANIMATION_DURATION expires in version 58.0a1 (watched by kgupta@mozilla.com) - Duration of animations running on the compositor in milliseconds
* COMPOSITOR_ANIMATION_MAX_LAYER_AREA expires in version 58.0a1 (watched by kgupta@mozilla.com) - High-watermark of layer area affected during a compositor animation. Units are layer pixels squared.
* CONTENT_RESPONSE_DURATION expires in version 58.0a1 (watched by kgupta@mozilla.com) - Main thread response times for APZ notifications about input events (ms)

This is an automated message sent by Cerberus. See https://github.com/mozilla/cerberus for details and source code.
I think we want all of these except possibly CONTENT_RESPONSE_DURATION to be extended. We should look at CONTENT_RESPONSE_DURATION to see if the numbers are stable and if the content response timeout needs any final tweaking.
OS: Unspecified → All
Priority: -- → P3
Hardware: Unspecified → All
Whiteboard: [gfx-noted]
So for CONTENT_RESPONSE_DURATION, the duration values have been decreasing since Nightly 53: https://mzl.la/2gZ8HsL
The latest data shows the 99th percentile value is ~167ms on desktop and ~380ms on mobile. The current values for the prefs are 400ms and 600ms respectively (chosen in bug 1247280), so it looks like we can bring those down a bit and still maintain 99% accuracy.

In terms of the probe expiry, I think given that these values have shifted over the past few releases I'd like to extend the probe a few more releases to see what happens.

Manually adding r?liuche for data collection review since MozReview didn't seem to pick that up.
