Hmm, I think we could be a bit more definite than that.  What do you
think of this advice:

  <para>
   When creating an archive (non-text) output file, it is advisable not to
   restrict the set of database objects dumped, but instead plan to apply
   any desired object filtering when reading the archive
   with <application>pg_restore</application>.  This will preserve
   flexibility and possibly avoid problems at restore time; for details
   see the <xref linkend="app-pgrestore"/> documentation.  However,
   omitting table data (<option>--no-data</option>) or large objects
   (<option>--no-large-objects</option>) does not have any surprising
   consequences.
  </para>
