Yes, we have talked about that, and it would work for pg_dump-generated
dumps. What it might not work for cleanly are dumps moved a different
way, or application changes, so while it might help in some cases, being
able to get things working without the version info is desirable.
If we ever get to a case where we _need_ to use it, it would be good to
have, just in case.
