They change nothing — a deploy from the source without them succeeds — and they make a
report definition longer without making its intent clearer.

The dashboards also come back with two properties *rewritten* rather than added:
`<expandOthers>` flips to `false` and `<showTotal>` is dropped altogether. Neither applies

The dashboards used to come back with two properties *rewritten* rather than added:
`<expandOthers>` flipped to `false` and `<showTotal>` was dropped altogether. Neither
