It is addressed.  For example, run this in PG14:

create unlogged table t1 (a int generated always as identity, b text);

Then dump it with PG15 with this patch:

Sorry, I wasn't being specific enough.  Per our documentation (and I seem to recall many comments from Tom):
"Because pg_dump is used to transfer data to newer versions of PostgreSQL, the output of pg_dump can be expected to load into PostgreSQL server versions newer than pg_dump's version." [1]

That is what I'm getting on about when talking about migrations.  So a v14 SQL backup produced by a v14 pg_dump restored by a v15 psql. (custom format and pg_restore supposedly aren't supposed to be different though, right?)
