That is who I am thinking of. A DBA team may have hundreds of databases to manage, each with many scripts which have been running nicely for years. A change like this is bound to break some of those crontab scripts they may not even remember they are running -- like ones which dump a key table to INSERT statements to feed into some other database product, which will now choke when it gets a custom format file instead of the text file it has been getting for years. Requiring the DBA team to track all these scripts down to add -Fp would be annoying, to put it mildly.
Only because they don't take the time to properly document or put into some form of automation/tracking/configfile management mechanism.
Don't get me wrong, I would be in the same boat but I don't think it is realistic to manage the communities expectations with the lackluster operations performance of fellow DBAs.
