Commit 0ba281cb4bf9f5f65529dfa4c8282abb734dd454 added a new syntax for the BASE_BACKUP command, with extensible options, but maintained support for the legacy syntax. This isn't important for PostgreSQL, where pg_basebackup works with older server versions but not newer ones, but it could in theory matter for out-of-core users of the replication protocol. Discussion on pgsql-hackers, however, suggests that no one is aware of any out-of-core use of the BASE_BACKUP command, and the consensus is in favor of removing support for the old syntax to simplify the code, so do that.
