Different overrides mean different things. We could monitor selected overrides. As far as specific / nonspecific overrides, it would be a good enough approximation to tag on a per package basis: X packages with the foo-bar override, specific or not, with multiple instances or not. To get started, we could monitor and plot some metrics without assigning any specific meaning or a interpretation to them just yet. When more data come in, the interpretation will be easier. Maciej
