There are other useful stats in xstats.
The idea of this basic stats structure is to provide only
the really mandatory and basic counters.
A multicast counter is not so basic and won't be implemented everywhere.

This patch won't be applied.
We'll need a consensus to definitively remove the deprecated stats.
