I revisited the main thread to see how folks voted. There are a lot of
messages over a long period of time, and folks may have changed their mind
since, but this is what I saw:
off-by-default: Mullane, Haas, Davis, Bossart
on-by-default: Huinker, Lane, Hagander, Frost
In fact, there seems to have been general agreement in 2024 that stats
_should_ be on by default [0]. So perhaps there's not as strong of a
consensus as we thought. Maybe we should ask for any new/updated votes.

Assuming we did turn on stats by default, what is the minimum set of new
flags in v18 you'd like to see?
