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

Dear Crystallographers,

Having been repeatedly chagrinned about the continued use and reporting of 
Rmerge rather than Rmeas or similar, I thought of a potential way to promote 
the change: what if merging programs would completely omit Rmerge/cryst/sym? 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?

All the best,

Jacob Keller
