The concern you raised at the time, from my recollection, was that I had added a new set of TAP tests post feature-freeze for pg_dump and there was concern that it might cause an issue for packagers. I don't recall a concern being raised about the tests themselves, and I intentionally worked to make sure this landed before feature-freeze to avoid that issue, though I believe we should actually be looking to try to add tests post feature-freeze too, as we work to test things prior to the release. Thanks! Stephen
