Hi all, |
| 2 |
|

I find the idea of having data great, but agree that it can lead to a false |
| 4 |
sense of having a correct data base. Therefor two thoughts: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
First, therefore I'd like to propose that you introduce gentoostats as a |
| 7 |
*strictly timed experiment* and evaluate if it actually changed anything within |
| 8 |
your decisions and drop it or let run permanently afterwards. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I have no proper solution for the parameters though, maybe something like |
| 11 |
"I choose to keep X use flags based on g.s.", but this would ask every dev to |
| 12 |
log plenty of decisions manually (read: I don't think this will happen). |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Second, I'm a bit frightened of Whissi's thought of dropping anything |
| 15 |
security related based on non-input via g.s. -- I'd like to ask you to use the |
| 16 |
information based on g.s. *not* for security related decisions, more for |
| 17 |
"harmless" ones like the Matt mentioned: Should I really support feature X while |
| 18 |
literally everyone of 200 users uses feature Y instead and I have no real |
| 19 |
testing ground for feature X (Matt, yell at me if I got you wrong!). |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Kind regards, |
