Both are probably worth measuring, so that we can have a good idea whether a small number of users/pages use this periodically versus a number of users hitting this frequently. > What would the baseline be?

The exact definition of that depends on our expectation of how infrequently this is used. I understand that we don't currently have a baseline that we use for removing features, but that's because we've been very sloppy with regards to unshipping features. At the very least we need to make sure that a surprisingly large number of sessions don't run into isindex, right? -- Ehsan _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
