Each encoded stage should have statistics about its current position recorded at all times and exposed to EPICS.
This diagnostic information could be important for diagnosing issues with any stage - and we might not know it until we need it.
Context / environment
The issue calls for statistics on critical axes, but I would argue that we should calculate them for all:
... [A] lesson learned here is to make sure all critical axes like those for mirrors come equipped with the statistics FB blocks so we are always measuring the noise RMS. Our engineering specifications only call for one test, but it's a sad day when noise suddenly appears and we have no hope to correlate it with some configuration change.
