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!
