I do believe that is the downside of deleting indices based on usage.
It only shows what's been used during the observation.  That implies a
bad assumption that the usage is completely stable.  To me, this seems
worse than just dropping an index and seeing who screams, since when
there is a problem in the future, you have to go through an entire
performance tuning workup because the linkage to the act of dropping
the index is obscured.  Maybe I'm missing the concept.  What about an
index that would be used when you pass some tipping point or boundary
condition or upgrade or change a session parameter?

I just don't get it.  This looks like a feature capriciously useful
for poorly implemented systems.
