As reported on the forum (1, 2), our documented p(90) query for New Relic doesn't produce the expected results.

After some investigation, it seems it's not possible to calculate percentiles from metric data that our StatsD output produces. So instead of confusing users, it's better to delete this and clarify the limitation.
