CL [0] renamed the telemetry_benchmarks suite to perf_v2 for issue 197092 .

platform_MemoryMonitor was added to the suite by [1] for issue 371418 .

Eventually most other tests were removed from this suite until just two remained:
(1) platform_MemoryMonitor
(2) telemetry_GpuTests
For a while this suite was still being scheduled in the Chrome OS HW Test lab.
At one point, in fact, there was a special lab pool (chromeperf) created for running these tests, and three builders that used the results:
daisy-chrome-perf
lumpy-chrome-perf
parrot-chrome-perf
In Nov 2014, the pool was removed and these builders were turned down as discussed in [2] and issue 434765.

However, suite:perf_v2 was still being scheduled nightly and weekly.
In June 2016, it was reported in issue 619041 and [3] that platform_MemoryMonitor was generating a huge number of timeseries.
This led to the decision to de-scheduled suite:perf_v2 [4] after moving its only other test (telemetry_GpuTests) out of suite:perf_v2 [5].

However, suite:perf_v2 still exists to this day.
Since the current recommendation is to run all performance tests in the bvt-perbuild suite anyway, let's just remove the suite and any references to it.
Its only remaining test, platform_MemoryMonitor, is currently broken ( issue 791829 ), however, previously it was decided to keep the test in the tree so if we want to run it or change it and/or consider putting it back in the suite (and then monitor), we can do that [6]. Therefore, there is an attempt to fix the test for now [7], but it has not yet been added back to any suite.
