I was just looking this up as well, and I find it too fast.  The
nonexclusive backups were introduced in 9.6.  So I'd say that we could
remove the exclusive ones when 9.5 goes EOL.  (That would mean this
patch could be submitted for PostgreSQL 13, since 9.5 will go out of
support around the time PG13 would be released.)
