Re: [epp-dev] Why doesn't the UDC collect trigger info?

[Wayne Beaton <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The simple answer is that we simply can't record everything. As it is, 
we collect thousands of rows of data every day for every user that opts 
into providing data. Our database is is huge. We made a decision that 
were recording enough.

If there are specific things that you think we should be capturing, I 
recommend that you open a bug.

Thanks,

Wayne
