[issue6196] tarfile.extractall(readaccess=True)

[Lars Gustäbel]

Lars Gustäbel <lars at gustaebel.de> added the comment:

I am still not convinced why tarfile needs this kind of a work-around
built in. We talk about a very small number of cases here and the
generator_tools-0.3.5.tar.gz is really broken beyond repair. It is the
only thing that should be fixed here IMO ;-)
I agree with David here. It is easy to manipulate the tarfile in
advance, as you have shown yourself. The performance argument does not
convince me either.
