That would be absolutely awesome.
I don't think we can actually tell easily. Additionally, we can't actually
tell the important thing, which was "how useful were they really?" — if we
have a million people using them but getting an average 0.01% size
benefit... that probably doesn't outweigh the costs.
But, we _can_ tell (again, see previous discussion) that what we're
currently providing is really unlikely to be very useful. So, I'm not
actually sure this approach buys us anything.
