The measurements belong to different events and we need to be able to 
differentiate between the events.

We could make it a single measurement, but then we need a tag for the event 
type. When designing this approach I assumed there would not be much difference 
in terms of resource requirements either way and mapping events to measurements 
seemed very natural.

3-6 months happens to be about the same as our release schedule so you might 
even finish the feature before our first public release. If not, we have plenty 
of time before any cardinality issues actually become a problem.

I will need to have a backup plan though in case the "7151 fix" never 
materializes. Not that I do not trust your team given the results so far, but I 
know how complex some issues can be so we need an backup strategy just in case.

Thank you very much for the detailed explanations, you have helped me a lot. I 
also really appreciate the effort you guys have put into developing a great 
product.
