Yeah, that's fair. I suspect that Peter's unhappiness with these tests
is partly rooted in the fact that they're just generic pg_dump tests
and not connected to any new-in-9.6 behavior. As such, it's not entirely
clear why we should be taking any stability risk by pushing them in
so late. We seem to have gotten away with it this time --- but it would
only have taken one more problem to get me to switch my vote to "revert
them".
