This was the main reason I created the patch. I ported OpenBSD pax/tar and I'm using it now for my distro. Since it defaults to the tape dev without -f- I have no way of transitioning to sbase tar without rewriting my scripts. I could use the newly added -z/-j/-J flags, but OpenBSD tar does not support -J so I have to xzdec -c | tar -xf-.
