I had a similar thought, but I think it's too late for such telemetry to
be effective. The vast majority of users who are affected will have
already stopped using Firefox, or will immediately do so, as soon as
they discover that their webmail, bank, google, facebook, etc. don't work.

(We could have used this sort of telemetry before Jan 1 if we'd forseen
this potential problem.  I don't blame us for not forseeing this, though.)
