Ye this is a terrible way to do refactoring. And I mean, "page visits"? In theory all users could be affected by the removed features.

The 0.1% and 99.9% are not complements!

"Data driven" development is so much BS since so many devs don't care to think properly about sampling and statistics.

It makes me wonder how many people hit the checkout flow on some websites, I'm sure the numbers for some people (automakers maybe) aren't too dissimilar.
We do have a checkout flow, and yes, that page is visited by a very small number of users. However, you don't actually think I deleted the checkout flow, do you?
No of course not, my point is that sometimes pages, code, and flows that are used by a minority of users are vital to business operations.
