Do you really think we would be having this discussion if the
non-exclusive backup method was unequivocally better? It is better for
some use-cases, and impossible for others.
Also, you can't say it will have no impact for five years on people who
do not upgrade. The impact will be that they will have no new Postgres
features for five years.
I am not taking a stance on this issue, but making unclear statements
isn't helping the discussion.
