I agree, that's definitely the most important statistic. A more useful
statistic would be the age of the oldest unreviewed revision.
What would also be useful would be to put together the list of
articles with outdated reviews with those articles' page view
statistics. Put that together with measurements of the amount of time
that articles spend with outdated reviews and you would have a pretty
good picture of the real effect on readers of outdated revisions
(which may be more or less than the raw 1.5% figure).
(Note that it's 0.5% of articles that don't have any reviewed
revisions, and 1.5% that have a non-current revision reviewed.
Information about the ages of revisions in both these categories would
be interesting.)
