Nemo, thanks for asking,
Wikistats broadly comes in two parts - A Content and activity reports per wiki (html tables and charts based on the xml dumps) - B Traffic reports
Traffic reports are built from two sources
-- B1 Domas' hourly aggregations per wiki, aggregated further into monthly totals per wiki (mobile/non-mobile, normalized/non-normalized), grouped by project e.g. http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesPageViewsMonthlyCombined.htm
-- B2 Sampled log lines (these days generated via hadoop)
These sampled log lines are used for two types of reports (with some hybrids)
--- B2a Breakdowns of traffic by geographic criteria (country, continent, N/S) http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportsCountriesLanguagesVi...
--- B2b Breakdowns of traffic by non geographic criteria (os, browser, mime type, target wiki, referer, etc) http://stats.wikimedia.org/cgi-bin/search_portal.pl?search=breakdown+of+traf...
My current proposal is on disabling B2b and hybrid reports like http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportCountryData.htm

I think the time has come to disable the traffic reports based on webstatscollector (2.0) data.
See http://stats.wikimedia.org/cgi-bin/search_portal.pl?search=breakdown+o f+traffic
Only the breakdowns by client? All the breakdowns? All the pageview stats? The country data is very important, for instance: people often ask such numbers (at least in Italy); nobody is ever looking at all of them in detail, so it's important for i18n etc. that they are available for everyone to look at their corner.
