A pretty good metric of some feature being used is the
frequency it comes up in discussion here and the action it sees
in bugzilla.
There are two obvious reasons why a feature would not have much
buzz:
1. it works perfectly
2. it isn't being used
Value Range Propagation is a pretty good example of (1). Sadly,
I suspect -cov is (2).
I'd be happy to be wrong about that.
Or it just isn't used much compared to other things and works
well enough when it is.
For what it's worth, there are a few bugs on Bugzilla about -cov,
so it is being used.
