I guess you mean 2022 ;)

Instead of "you can fix this" , I suggest to say "you should run ANALYZE on
those tables to collect updated statistics."

It should say "not process these TABLES" (not stats), and should not say "that
are using extended statistics" since partitioned tables should be manually
analyzed whether or not they have extended stats.

It's good to say "..you should periodically run ANALYZE on partitioned tables
to collect updated statistics." (even though this patch doesn't change that).

remove "a" or s/types/types/
