Sorry, I wasn't being specific enough.  Per our documentation (and I seem
to recall many comments from Tom):
"Because pg_dump is used to transfer data to newer versions of PostgreSQL,
the output of pg_dump can be expected to load into PostgreSQL server
versions newer than pg_dump's version." [1]

That is what I'm getting on about when talking about migrations.  So a v14
SQL backup produced by a v14 pg_dump restored by a v15 psql. (custom format
and pg_restore supposedly aren't supposed to be different though, right?)
