Big +1.
I may have missed something (we seem to have a lot of threads for this subject), but we are in beta and both pg_dump and pg_upgrade seem to be opt-out? I still object strongly to this; pg_dump is meant to be a canonical representation of the schema and data. Adding metadata that can change from dump to dump seems wrong, and should be opt-in. I've not been convinced otherwise why stats should be output by default.
To be clear, I 100% want it to be the default for pg_upgrade.
Maybe we are just leaving it enabled to see if anyone complains in beta, but I don't want us to forget about it. :)
