Hi Sooraj, everyone, I agree with the sentiment here that the current stats system isn't as useful as it could be. In a lot of cases there is either way too much information, or way too little information. And all of the information could be easier to parse!
On a related note, what ever happened to all of the changes to export the statistics to python/some database? Perhaps resurrecting that discussion could provide the more user-tunable stats output that you're wanting, Sooraj.
