>>> * Also, if an app gets really popular then this list will likely be really long, like thousands of users. Not sure if our console could handle that. I think this feature of being able to see instances is great in "development mode" or during apps' "beta testing" though.
>>>

>> It was to to select applications and perform actions on them. I already thought this would be confusing, so I removed them now. An app is active when it has at least one push network enabled.

>> Yep, potentially.
