I've no problem dropping this variable if we're not using it anywhere.

That said, I know previously in the development of the perl version
of the tools, there was some experimentation with showing things like
progress bars or information like e.g. "37 of 146 pending rejections
would be covered by adding this rule". I think there's a place for
indicators that show contextual information about the current run of
whatever tool is being used, and this variable may have been added
as a data gathering element to support that.
