What this is:
We have a system called cerberus[1] that compares Telemetry collected on different Nightly builds and looks for sudden changed in value distributions using the Bhattacharyya Distance[2]. It found such a change in FORGET_SKIPPABLE_FREQUENCY on 2019-11-27 so it asked its buddy medusa[3] to send this email to the dev-telemetry-alerts mailing list and to all email addresses listed in the alert_emails field of FORGET_SKIPPABLE_FREQUENCY's definition.

You can do this!

Your Friendly, Neighbourhood Firefox Telemetry Team

This is almost certainly due to my changes in bug 1599445.  I've filed
bug 1600565 to investigate.
