Good point about the function --- that seems more than sufficient for
any possible usefulness of a reset behavior.

So if stats_reset_on_server_start goes away, then we have only two
variable names to worry about, and they control separate behaviors
so there seems no compelling reason to name them alike.  That leaves
me favoring the approach of calling them

                track_activities
                track_counts

Rather than calling for more discussion, maybe I should just say
"has anyone got a strong objection to these names"?
