Just get it over and done. Set it and forget it. Pax is just icing on the cake. Fix the main issue first. Doing it this way at least puts it in the hands of the masses. We should push for OpenSSL v0.9.6d and other tools to at least be as current as they can be so we can at least start off on a good common ground. If I have to donate a few dollars to FreeBSD or do community service just to get somebody to update tar in the base system then so be it.
