No actually, and your reply is offensive. There are a lot of things
PostgreSQL is missing that are "easy" and a clear win, yet people still
don't do them. A simple one is the ridiculous usage of pg_dump and
pg_dumpall. Or that we can't use pg_restore to use the plain text
backup.

I think his email was very well written and a simple request of
discussion of alternatives as well as future plans.
