True. However, I suspect that depends on what procedure is actually being followed. If *everyone* who is using this is getting corrupt backups, then of course changing the behavior is a no-brainer. But if *some* people are getting correct backups and *some* people are getting incorrect backups, depending on procedure, then I think changing it is unwise. We should optimize for the case of a user who is currently doing something smart, not one who is doing something dumb. > I'd hate to have to do it, but we could technically add a GUC to address > this in the back-branches, no?
