(bsd)tar and multi-volume

 Hello,

according to tar(1), the base system tape archiver is bsdtar since 8.x ,
which lacks support for multi-volumes.
I guess I can easily omit that restriction by installing gtar from
archivers/ in the ports collection.
Is there any plan to implement split volume support again for the base
system? Any better app to feed tapes these days in FreeBSD?

Regards,

-Harry
