As a counter-point, the stats work properly by far the majority of the time (this time it was due to the update script running into a temporary problem, which was fairly quick to fix), and they can be useful to get a sense of how a community is doing in general.

We do recognise that it's not very 'actionable' though, which is partly why Insights now exists.

While we don't have plans to remove this info (even if it sometimes has problems updating), I'll pass on the feedback about this and other stats!
