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. :)
