Details

Right now Telemetry uses a Histogram implementation forked from Chromium[1]. It has features we don't even need, makes serialization more complicated than necessary and we built our own API on top anyway. This is a good first thing to replace with a simple oxidized (implemented in Rust) alternative with exactly the features we need from it. Additionally we can share the storage implementation with mobile code in the future. [1]: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/ipc/chromium/src/base/histogram.cc

Given that bug 1370565 has been closed as not relevant anymore: Is this one still relevant?

No, not really. No advantage in replacing code with Rust code, which we know will be obsolete in a while (and Glean already has Rust implementations of histograms).
