Hi,

recently, we again saw a few million requests to the 'undefined', and
'Undefined' pages. While some requests for Undefined are real proper
requests, by far most of them seem to stem from gone-wrong-JavaScript.
(See bug 66352 [1])

While the fact that we there is gone-wrong-JavaScript is an issue on
it's own, I am preparing patches to drop [uU]ndefined from the
webstatscollector pageview definition [2], and hence no longer count
them in the pagecounts-raw [3] and pagecounts-all-sites [4] files.

If you think it's worth keeping them, please let us know soonish.
(I'll try to get the changes merged on 2014-10-09.)

Have fun,
Christian
