Thanks. -- Your example of a machine that's taken out of service for maintenance, and will then yield a long load-time metric for the next serial makes total sense, and of course does not indicate a problem.

Nevertheless, I wouldn't say that that's a meaningless metric. In indicates the typical quantiles for zone propagation times, which is a good piece of data to be floating.

(If this were removed, this may lead to less realistic assumptions of propagation times a few years later.)

Best,
Peter
