Especially information as out of date as that :-(.  Glancing at the
commit log, the very first version of pg_dump (in PG 7.0) did not do
blobs, but that was fixed by 7.1.  I have a vague recollection that
--no-blobs might've been the default for a while after that, but
certainly it's been well over a decade since it wasn't default.
