We need more data. We need to figure out what data that is.
We have [https://intranet.mozilla.org/Metrics/Stranded_Users/Initial_Analysis preliminary data from metrics], still looking for eye opening trends.  
=== Open Questions ===
* Are these users significantly different than our overall user base?
** All mac users?
** All europeans?
** All occasional users?
* Why do certain versions have half, or twice, the overall "strand rate"?
** Is it a function of release lifetime?
* Is the lack of update a deliberate choice or a technological limitation?
** Compare AUS and Blocklist to gauge "intentionality"
* How much can be attributed to third party distributors (e.g. Linux distros) that have their own release cycle?

* Figure out what telemetry we can send to help understand, without harming user privacy in any way.
* Figure out as much as we can from the existing AUS/Blocklist data
* Figure out what additional telemetry we could send/surveys we could run to help understand the rest
