Possibly you're getting a little too enthusiastic about these revert
requests, because I'd say it's at least a decade too late to get rid
of pg_basebackup.
As discussed elsewhere, I do rather hope that pg_combinebackup will
eventually know how to operate on tar files as well, but right now it
doesn't.
