Pro: You have your output all the time, so no more going "oops! I forgot to
specify that -o / -l option!"
Con: As we all know, many embedded systems have a limited amount of space,
be it physical or virtual, s.t. more logs will clog up a running embedded
system faster. This is especially true because tar uncompressed is used
instead of with some form of compression (bzip2, cpio, gzip, etc).
Why can't the user specify that they want logs instead of forcing the rest
of the users to conform to this behavior? Then again using /dev/null or
/dev/std{err|out} would work too I suppose...
