Thanks Dan, and apologies if these are naive questions:

For mobile web can we also see beta v. stable?  This is important for tracking prototypes, which is one of the core product uses for this data.

For apps can we see ios v android?

I don't think it is if it is! As you said, though, we need to hammer
on it for a while to make absolutely sure it's okay, and using
lower-resolution data would not only make this easier but also reduce
the cost of getting people wrong (geolocating people to MA is less
dangerous than geolocating them to Arlington)
