Right... for v10. Last I checked we still wish for pg_dump 9.6 to work against 7.0, as I mention in the portion you quote above. I agree that we don't need to ensure that v10 pg_dump works against 7.0, which is helpful, certainly, but there's still a lot left on the floor in the back branches as it relates to code coverage and the buildfarm. Thanks! Stephen
