I think the only strong argument for dump/restore is that there might
be some crazy^H^H^H^H^H^H dedicated hobbiests over at The Unix
Historical Society who might find a 9-track tape with some 2.10 BSD
backup on it, and dump/restore is format compatible with it.  So
_restore_ might be interesting for some of those folks.  Then again,
they'd probably prefer to actually restore it on their 2.10 BSD system
running on a PDP-11 emulator.... so we're probably good.  :-)
