The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/app-pgbasebackup.html
Description:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/logical-replication.html
Logical replication has excellent paragraph about usecases.

These pages does not have them.
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-pgdump.html
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-pgbasebackup.html

My main issue is that `pg_basebackup` page does not mention that this backup
is compatible only with current version of database. I can not do basebackup
on v11 and restore that on v15, for example.
