Incidents/20150529-Tagging

Summary

Changes deployed on an emergency basis Friday, 2015-05-22, caused some tagging data to no longer be captured, causing an unrecoverable loss of data. This was feared to invalidate the Visual Editor A/B Pilot test in progress; however, that test used a different mechanism to gather data and was not affected.

Relevant: bug T100248, bug T100439
