Stefan Bodewig commented on COMPRESS-411:
-----------------------------------------
I'm afraid this is the wrong place to discuss the meta question :-)
I had not noticed how dev@ had become, see
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/16e6144c52c8639aca9da1b2be0acc40e6b29469c21a64d062b4c39c@%3Cdev.commons.apache.org%3E
I'm not saying "its not a problem" would be a helpful response, but "I don't
see the problem, please explain it to me, convince me" is.
> TarUtils.formatLongOctalOrBinaryBytes never uses result of formatLongBinary

> If the results are not ignored, a unit test would fail.
