That is merely an implementation issue. The question of whether pg_dump
and pg_dumpall should be separate programs is a question of design,
IMHO.
I don't think they need to be integrated any time soon, but if we were
to design pg_dump and pg_dumpall from scratch, it seems more logical to
use a single program, and therefore that is the long-term direction I
think we should head in.
