This is so close to ideal. It's just that the first bullet should be "off
by default" :)

I think pg_restore and pg_upgrade are solved problems at this point. I'm
still not convinced why stats should be on by default, as they are metadata
- neither schema nor data, but something special that should be explicitly
requested. Also, +1 to the idea of --statistics-only as a QA / debug tool
as someone mentioned upthread.

Cheers,
Greg
