(Whiteboard: [probe-expiry-alert])

The following Firefox probes will expire in the next major Firefox nightly release: version 89 [1].

printing.paper_size

What to do about this:

  1. If one, some, or all of the metrics are no longer needed, please remove them from their definitions files (Histograms.json, Scalars.yaml, Events.yaml).
  2. If one, some, or all of the metrics are still required, please submit a Data Collection Review [2] and patch to extend their expiry. There is a shorter form for data collection renewal [3].

If you have any problems, please ask for help on the #data-help Slack channel or the #telemetry Matrix room at https://chat.mozilla.org/#/room/#telemetry:mozilla.org. We'll give you a hand.

Jonathan, do you think there's value in continuing to collect this? AFAICS the data confirms what we'd expect, that printing is overwhelmingly dominated by A4 and Letter sizes, with things like Legal and A5 trailing far behind, and a long tail of oddities. One interesting thing is to see that there are a fair number of slight variations (rounding errors in drivers, I guess) from "standard" sizes, so we shouldn't make too many assumptions about exactly what a particular nominal size will result in on any given printer; it may vary by a point or to either way.

We should keep a record of the finding, but remove them, I think.
