Firefox already has opt-in telemetry, and Firefox already has a beta channel. It's unclear to me how it would help to tie telemetry to the beta channel; that would just make the existing problems (not enough data, and biased data) even worse, since there are probably far more users willing to share telemetry data than to use beta software.
