Indeed, I definitely agree that we should move away from the exclusive backup APIs at some point, still it feels very early to do this move as of now. Showing a bigger warning in the docs would be nice as a first step, and then we could wait a couple of extra years before doing the actual move. By the way, David and others, my apologies for my latest email, I hope you did not take that badly, my impression of this thread about the opinions gathered was wrong. -- Michael
