If you're pointing to this thread:
http://pve.proxmox.com/pipermail/pve-devel/2012-August/thread.html#3412

I hardly see any discussion, just a no-statement with a vague "we want 
to keep vzdump simple" and no reply to Kamil's last message where he 
points-out that his changes are small. He has even kept the patches 
up-to-date with Proxmox versions.

The feature is very interesting for remote-copying backups and keeping 
backup storage size lower. I can understand that maybe technical reasons 
favor another solution against this, but this doesn't seem the case?
