Right, it's not really practical for pg_migrator to just copy over the
statistics without any intelligence. We might at some time choose to
teach it which stats could be copied safely, but that hardly seems like
something to do in version 1.0 --- and anyway it could not be a 100%
solution.

Exactly. It's not a win for pg_migrator to not give you back control of
the database until everything has been ANALYZEd. That's a task that can
likely be done in background.
