Not only for statistics, it would also provide users with an
opportunity to see whether it is due to the job queue or a
bug if a category membership or a link/template relationship
is not updated soon after the actual edit to article.

  In the same way it would be nice to extend "?action=purge"
to log any discrepancies it encounters between the pre- and
post-purge states to ease debugging.
