It would be ridiculous to dedicate time to writing more documentation and then having to deal with redirecting people to the right place. We're just going to remove that percentile and replace it with a more meaningful one, because everybody that has spoken out about this so far agrees. I don't see _any_ case, personally, where this statistic is remotely useful. The idea will probably be to replace it with a more accurate "percentage in use" metric which will account for all of mb_map. If nobody beats me to it, I'll have it committed by tomorrow.
