Yes -- it does exactly that. There's talk of how to fix that using the Application API, but it's still a long way off. Beyond the sheer volume of work to implement it, I think the major challenge will be handling and storing the metadata describing the location of a particular tar file without using so much overhead as to render it unusable.
