Alexandre Rafalovitch commented on SOLR-15189:
----------------------------------------------
If we are not going to wire-up Reference Guide, then the marginal value of GA
over the INFRA numbers is fairly small from what I can see. In fact, INFRA does
show the Ref Guide overall numbers. GA may have given us the traffic flow
between the pages, but that's ok.
So, I am +1 on removing GA on all properties on April 1 or even ASAP. That's
what we promised to do on the dev list and there was nothing revolutionary in
the GA stats to warrant course changes.
Do we need another Jira for Lucene as well? I guess that's running a dead
tracker, so definitely no need to wait.

> INFRA provides anonymous page view stats here
