The other side of the coin is that there haven't been so many requests for
changing this; more than just this one, but not a groundswell.  So 9.5
only seems like a good compromise unless we get more votes for back-patch.

I reviewed the patch and concluded that it would be better to split
compute_minimal_stats into two functions instead of sprinkling it so
liberally with if's.  So I did that and pushed it.
