I was talking about when we call parallel_vacuum_process_one_index()
via parallel_vacuum_process_unsafe_indexes() where the leader
processes the indexes that will be skipped by workers. Isn't that case
slightly different now because previously in that case we would not
have done the copy but now we will copy the stats in that case as
well? Am, I missing something?
