  is extremely useful to us and we have 
  already weighed the cost/benefit of 
  using tracking.

  Actually, @muffinresearch pointed out we could probably just observe Do Not Track here, 
  because this pane is actually a web page loaded in an iFrame inside the browser page. 
  That might be faster to ship. Just thinking aloud :smile:

  I'm definitely for giving users the option to disable this.
