I think this idea is strict from docs [1] ("The common feature of these 
applications is that they can be run on any host, independent of where the 
database server resides."). I agree that is not a good way to categorize 
binaries but who bothers? (It is only two categories.)

It seems logical that all "clients" use some postgresql library. So I would 
put pg_basebackup on the "client" side of the fence.
