I did already.
Something that is not documented to the customers is private and may be changed
without notice. This is true for the archive format used by suntar -T.
Star could implement a completely different archive format extension in order
to implement -T. Sun would just need to keep a copy of the old suntar under
/usr/bin/otar to allow old Trtusted Solaris users to use their old archives.
