I'm with Stephen: I find it very hard to imagine that there's any
users who wouldn't want this as default. If we do what you suggest,
then there will be three historical behaviors to cope with not two.
That doesn't sound like it'll make anyone's life better.
As for the "it might break" argument, that could be leveled against
any nontrivial patch. You're at least offering an opt-out switch,
which is something we more often don't do.
(I've not read the patch yet, but I assume the switch works like
other pg_dump filters in that you can apply it on the restore
side?)
