Done, we're including everything related to webstats.

We postponed these changes. They are nice to have, but they can wait a
bit longer.

Done.

Done, these are also included.

Similarly, we postponed this.

Done, except that we did this today together with the metrics-lib

This can wait a bit longer, too. Let's discuss this more on Thursday.
