Is anyone able to mention a single concrete use made of the hits to Special:BannerRandom and Special:RecordImpression on Meta, other than recording 400 million fake visits to the site each day? http://stats.grok.se/meta.m/latest90/Special:RecordImpression

It seems fundraising is not tracking how many banners/notices are loaded/displayed (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Fundraising_2012/Report), so I'd assume they're not used for any analysis.
