For me too: it went into org via this commit

commit 2c0812caf14e674d938d80d05678576c0cefcc83
Author: Carsten Dominik <address@hidden>
Date:   Mon May 19 14:11:47 2008 +0200

    Implement TODO statistics.
    
    This uses the same cookies as Checkbox statistics, [%] and [/]


and has been available since org-version 6.04. David, you probably need

HTH,
