So one drawback with this, that I ran into is:
nwe@deb13:~$ pv
bash: pv: command not found
For anyone working a lot on isolated "air-gapped" networks with no quick
easy access to the apt repositories, pv is thus less useful.
I don't recall having ever had to install dd. I installed pv and skimmed
over its man page. Yes, I can see it looks useful. While depending on dd
gets me the benefit of being able to expect it is going to be there when
I need it without having to install it first.

I learn a lot, following these discussions :)
