I'd argue that it is generally desired (or some convenient workaround) 
but not urgently so.  I'd also argue that if we're going to have a 
--no-stats flag, it should exist for the other client ultilites as well; 
if I don't want pg_dump showing up, I probably don't want Vacuum showing 
up, or various other already-debugged maintenance routines.

I'd suggest putting this into the first patch review for 8.5.
