for Telemetry probes?

We are in the process of combining the Telemetry and FHR data collection systems, with the goal of improving telemetry experiment data collection by including a stable user ID with some measurements, and making it possible to prototype/test measurements in telemetry before enabling them for the FHR audience. As part of this, we are going to be splitting up the current single telemetry ping into several smaller pings, which may have various privacy/retention characteristics. After that happens, I'd like to be able to review new measurements to make sure that they are part of the correct ping.

I believe we should try a simple approval process to see whether it works or introduces too much overhead. My goal is for the standard approval process to be no more red-tape than normal reviews.
