My recollection is that that change was way too invasive to be
reasonable for a back-port.  The solutions used for circular reference
situations (various ALTER commands) probably don't exist very far back
anyway.

Nah, all you need to do is take the 8.0 pg_dump, hard-code that --use-set-session-authorization is always enabled, and remove use of pg_get_serial_sequence IIRC...

It could be considered a 'bug' I guess, and could help people upgrading from 7.4...

They could just use the 8.0 pg_dump for that.

Yep. But who knows to do that? :)

My 2c : we have an archive of statically compiled pg_dump binaries on postgresql.org.

Cheers,

Chris
