+This is not intended to be a forked release for GNU tar; it's
+just an interim experimental release, mostly intended for
+Large File Summit hosts like Solaris 2.6. The patches of this
+release have all been submitted via the usual channels and
+they should no longer be needed once the next official release
+of GNU tar is out.
