All of the other ones that I know of were associated with pg_dump
itself, and since it is recommended to run the newer version of
pg_dump against the older version of the server, no back patching
would be necessary to get the benefits of those particular fixes.

What would be the recommendation for people trying to upgrade, but who
can't get their data out in a reasonable window?
Putting Tatsuo-san's change into a future pg_dump might be more
conservative than back-porting the server's Lock Table change to the
server version they are trying to get rid of.
