The best person to ask is the maintainer, but one really obvious problem
is where to dump to. Picking a random directory and dumping to it could
easily flood the partition with a large database and cause damage to the
system. One would hope that the administrator of a server would be
taking adequate steps to protect themselves from failed upgrades anyway.
