Why not? They can be a quite useful measure of how competing traffic
performs when bulk flows congest the link. Which for many applications
is more important then the latency experienced by the bulk flow
itself...

I do agree, though, that other types of measurements are also needed.
Ideally we should have good latency characteristics for *both* competing
traffic and the bulk flows themselves.
