Request summary:
Since people leaving the page open counts towards time on page / site, the 
average is usually skewed by a tiny percent of people doing so. As such, adding 
a metric for median time on page / site would REALLY help.

Use Cases:
Better understanding what a TYPICAL user does on the site.

This would be very useful across all metrics where we currently see mean. 
Median has been shown to be a better indicator than mean.
