I'm sorry that there's some confusion here- to be clear, no one is
required to use pgBackRest. pg_basebackup works quite well and wouldn't
be impacted by the changes proposed no this thread. The arguments
against removing the exclusive backup feature don't have anything to do
with pg_basebackup.
Thanks!
