  | One datapoint: I always dump -x, and have done probably for the
  | last twenty years, and have never observed a problem.

I haven't been using it quite that long, and actually thought I
had been using -X, but when I look at my script, it is -x - so it
is long enough ago that I don't remember when I started using it, or
exactly how it was being done.

It seems like the experimental (dangerous) period might safely be said
to be over...
