New tools have been selected that will scale up to meet the new requirements, but are such that some changes to existing website privacy policies are required. Basil Hashem has blogged about the proposed changes and is seeking feedback from the Mozilla community.

Due to our scale, we've had issues with overall availability, log processing issues and time to process the logs. Mozilla consulted with Urchin experts over many months to try to permanently resolve the problems but unfortunately the situation has not gotten any better. From what we understand, Google has taken the Urchin base and have used that for building up Google Analytics feature development - as a consequence Urchin development is slowing down and will lag in features and support into the foreseeable future. The Mozilla Metrics, Marketing, IT & OPS teams did an extensive evaluation and came up with Omniture and Google Analytics as the best solution for our needs. @Toe: Actually, we have been using Urchin for quite some time.
