If an exclusive backup API is really removed from #PostgreSQL, new extension supporting an exclusive one may need to be implemented.

TBH, why? Mention a single platform that does shellscript, but does not do say python, perl, ruby, powershell, or any of the scripting languages that actually makes this easier. Why does it have to be shellscript?
