 this idea in practice? I can imagine the two main categories of approach
 are "hack something up ourselves" or "reuse the firefox telemetry stuff,
 but safely".

 Yes, those two options come to mind first. I had been thinking more of the
 first option as the telemetry system is a large beast and we only need a
 fraction of its features, yet we'd need to have the whole thing in mind
 and to audit it to be sure we are on the safe side when collecting that
 info.
