It's not that an option becomes "bad" just because it's not carved into the POSIX standard. What's important, I guess, is that tar is POSIX-compliant, so that if you want, you can build POSIX-compliant scripts etc. , but I can't see how non-POSIX but handy extensions could be bad. Maybe it's me not seeing the problem. Maybe the POSIX standard could just be extended as well. :) >> and it would be nice to see p7zip supported >> in the same way. > > No. "No" means nothing.
