Jacob Rmerge does contain information which complements the others. I'd prefer it remains but agree it needs to be properly understood alongside the others you mention

Is there some reason to continue to report these stats, or are they just grandfathered into the software? I doubt that any journal or crystallographer would insist on reporting Rmerge per se. So, I wonder what developers would think about commenting out a few lines of their code, seeing what happens? Maybe a comment to the effect of “Rmerge is now deprecated; use Rmeas” would be useful as well. Would something catastrophic happen?
