This topic has come up more than once and on multiple threads (entirely
independent of pgbackrest and any of the other individuals on this
thread) and I think it needs to be a discussion held at the PGCon
Developer meeting.

I'll propose it.

If you'd like to propose something to fix the, as well discussed,
dangerous exclusive backup method, or further litigate at what point a
dangerous and misleading interface should be removed, I'm sure you'll
find we'd be happy to talk about that.

Thanks,

Stephen
