OK I am wrong. When I tried to compile with this change the following
tests failed.
```
Failed tests:
shouldEmitSomethingIfTickTupleIsReceived(storm.starter.bolt.IntermediateRankingsBoltTest):
Index: 0, Size: 0
shouldEmitNothingIfNoObjectHasBeenCountedYetAndTickTupleIsReceived(storm.starter.bolt.RollingCountBoltTest):
shouldEmitSomethingIfAtLeastOneObjectWasCountedAndTickTupleIsReceived(storm.starter.bolt.RollingCountBoltTest):
shouldEmitSomethingIfTickTupleIsReceived(storm.starter.bolt.TotalRankingsBoltTest)
```
It looks like to me that the tick is being used somewhere else. Why
exactly do we not want the ticks?
