As-is this is just a development tool which was sorely needed for the
development of this patchset. But yes I think that once ready
(xlogreader infrastructure, *_desc routines splitted) it should
definitely be able to do most of what the above xlogdump can do and it
should live in bin/. I think mostly some filtering is missing.

That doesn't really "deprecate" the above though.

Does that answer your question?
