Per some discussions with a number of different people at pgconfeu, here

streaming the wal, as this is what most users would want -- and those

safe" thing by default is a good idea.
The new option "-x none" is provided to turn this off and get the
previous behavior back.
I would have expected that the "stream" method would become the default.
Just a short while ago it was proposed to remove the "fetch" method
altogether, and it was only kept because of some niche use cases. I
don't think "fetch" is the most safe method, because it requires
wal_keep_segments to be configured.
IMO, if you are using fetch just using archive_command. Let's rip it out
of pg_basebackup or at least deprecate it.
