ISTM that it's pretty desirable to do something about this. If the
process isn't going to report statistics properly, at least remove it
from the view. If it can be made to report properly, that would be
even better. But shipping a new view with information that will nearly
always be zeroes instead of real data seems like a bad call, even if
there are existing cases that have the same problem.
