    That “64% of features are rarely used” referenced a 2002 talk, quite old. I don’t know if we have learnt anything in those years and we managed to improve those numbers, I can’t find a newer source talking about this. Do you know any?

    Unfortunately I don't have more recent data on unused features, although I hope the current number will be lower thanks to experimentation.

    Maybe you will find interesting some references about experimentation.
