Details

Let's make sure we are anonymizing the telemetry from CFR by using a 'reverse bucketing' approach.  Here we will throw out the message_id on impression pings (which identifies which addon is referenced), and replace it with a bucket_id, which for this experiment will be "CFR_BUCKET_M1".  

This will ensure that all impression telemetry from the experiment will not exfiltrate browser history.
Severity: normal → enhancement
Priority: -- → P3
If channel === release and the user is NOT in an experiment cohort:
- we will replace message_id with bucket_id
- will use impression_id instead of client_id

For other channels and users in the experiment cohort, we can still send message_id and client_id
