Exactly. Anything else is fine. Heck some percentage of pax seem always to be flying in pajama-like sweats, honestly no one will even notice if you put them on prior to boarding (though I generally change in the lav prior to takeoff).
There seems to be a resurgence of interest in pajamas on FlyerTalk.

commented, "
Many passengers change into pajamas / pyjamas (PJs) in their seats," (Post # 8), this was countered in the next post by someone who had never seen this happen, an assertion upvoted by FlyerTalk Posting Legend beckoa .
I am glad to see I am not the only person who has noticed people changing in their seats. Yet I am not so judgmental about the practice.
Most people who change into pajamas do so discreetly, which is why some very frequent travellers do not even notice it. A blanket can certainly cover up below-the-waist changes.
Keep in mind that those who use a lavatory as a changing room are diverting a very scarce resource from being used for its intended excretory functions.
As someone who suffers from benign prostate hyperplasia, I would hate to have to urinate into an air sickness bag because so many people were putting on pajamas in the lav, a time-consuming process. And what about fellow passengers with diarrhea? 
I myself have donned a pair of UA-issued PJs in my seat, as a point of courtesy and respect for my fellow passengers. There are many ways to be helpful. We should each do what we can, which will be different for each of us.
