Opinions?
Yuck.
GNU tar already has way too many command line options.
If people are going to have to change scripts to
avoid these warnings, they may as well do it in
a more robust way that won't break with other
tar implementations. "-B -b 1" is far more
portable.
Sergey proposed an option to _enable_ the message, so no people are
going to change scripts to avoid the warning.
