`tier1` tests pass on 91554c5873d4b643ca1234507aece44b33ecfd90 – the run report is shared in the ticket.

This field hasn't been used since 2007, the epoch of the Git history, it is probably predating even that. I doubt if it will ever be used or is still relevant. Hence, removed it.

There is no method called `save()` anyway. (I guess historically its the predecessor of `saveAsProperties()`.)
