Eliminate Cycle Analytics "Total" stage
Problem to solve
In the Cycle Analytics feature, the "Total" stage is the sum of all stages (it represents the total time "from issue creation ... until deploy to production"). That is confusing. It looks like every other individual stage, but is actually a sum of all stages. This particular kind of sum is often called "lead time". Lead time is being added to the top bar of Cycle Analytics under Issue #21863 (closed). Once that is executed the "Production" stage will be not only misleading, but redundant.

Proposal
Remove the "Total" stage of Cycle Analytics (after "lead time" is added to the top bar under #21863 (closed)).

This was prompted by some confusion it caused in code review.
UPDATED 2019-10-15 by @djensen to refine the spec per @valexieva's suggestion.
