The only use I could think of was exactly what Sam suggested - a DDB
command and that was the only possible use I found.

I decided to propose removal of this KPI, because nobody decided to use
it for more than 9 years now and this is a good thing to remove unused
code, no?

I won't fight for keeping it removed, really. If after 9 years someone
will find it useful I'm all for bringing it back.
