[Labs-l] [Analytics] User registration date on DB replicas

[Felipe Ortega]

Hi Oliver,

Thanks a lot. Then, I look forward to the confirmation and implementation of this feature. In case it's better to open a new issue on bugzilla or any other action on my side (lend a hand with value reviewing/testing) just let me know.

Regards,
Felipe.

I can't see a reason for the data to not be available; the deficiencies were (iirc) pre-2004-ish. It's actually really trivial to tell when they started, because the "guesstimates" are the timestamp of the first revision associated with the user.
