636233 - Refactor the way Socorro determines which versions to run correlation reports for

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Socorro :: General, task)

Description

As part of his investigation of bug 628341, rhelmer discovered that the correlation reports run for the top three crashiest versions on a given day, regardless of whether those are useful versions:

I suggested that this be gated instead on the versions that are listed as "active" in the Branch Data Sources in the Admin panel, which would allow products to configure which ones they're interested in (just as products do for the other major reports) and eliminate the need to have a specific override hard-coded and updated for release candidate/beta-channel Firefox versions (and, indeed, would extend the ability to have correlation reports to all products in release candidate/beta-channel stages, when they'll not yet be the crashiest versions).

See bug 628341 comment 9 and bug 628341 comment 10 for more on my suggestion and rhelmer's response/refactoring ideas.
