I can't see why a backup would continue to be valid without a manifest

critical info in backup_label, you can't afford to lose that, so why
should backup_manifest be any different?
I mean, you can run pg_basebackup --no-manifest.
Maybe this would be a good thing to disable for page incremental. With
all the work being done by pg_combinebackup, it seems like it would be a
good idea to be able to verify the final result?
I understand this is an option -- but does it need to be? What is the
benefit of excluding the manifest?
