--- Comment #4 from Faidon Liambotis <[email protected]> ---
X-CS (and, by extension, X-Analytics from Varnish) is *not* meant to be used
for analytics purposes. It is used for tagging requests so that separate
responses can be created (and cached independently).

There is no reason for doing carrier tagging on API requests (or other requests
for that matter), there isn't such a need and it's bad for performance to do so
on the hot path of requests.

If you want to track these from an analytics standpoint, you should
post-process the logs, similar on how you do GeoIP lookups. Zero is giving us a
JSON file via a meta.wm.org URL with carrier prefixes, so it should be easy to
adapt your analytics code.
