For example, the calculation of the mean-accuracy from all iterations, and the 
calculation of the standard deviation/error of the mean (just like in regular 
Kfold cross-validation). I have to agree that there are probably better 
approaches and techniques as you mentioned, but I wouldn't remove it just 
because very few people use it in practice.
