There have been quite a few requests for probe selection features. I sort of wonder if those can be implemented without leading to complexity that nobody can understand anymore.
Seems reasonable. But, in that case, I would request, in exchange, that the default selection is improved to be actually random: there are apparently huge biases in the selection, so drawing quantitative conclusions ("x % of Atlas probes can ping www.example.com with IPv4") from default selection is dangerous.
