Posix removed "tar" and "cpio" from their standard command list over 10 years ago, in favor of something nobody anywhere uses for anything. What would telling them I added something to tar accomplish? https://landley.net/notes-2016.html#11-03-2016 Meanwhile, https://lwn.net/Articles/658809/ kinda took the LSB out of commission. (Their initial gripe was Red Hat paid them to standardize RPM but not .deb, and Ubuntu objected hard but couldn't outbid Red Hat.) I very much want standards, but the standards _bodies_ seem to have idiots driving. One is seniority uber alles and the other bows to the largest check and has since been joined by microsoft.
