Tom, No substantive comment on the meat of the proposal: it sounds like a reasonable idea to me.

In fact, my reading of the Decision Brief says "all clients once, and then maybe again in the future", but I could be wrong, or the approach may have evolved. Can you link to more details? I'm particularly interested in the technical mechanism (client coin flips?) and the power calculations that go into determining the sampling rate. Thanks!
