When you say "fix", do you mean to change the current behavior?
Or do you mean to add additional formatting options?

Changing the current behavior will break innumerable scripts
people have in place for doing their backups.  Including
amanda-afs.

Said people could of course all "fix" their scripts at the
same time, if they know.  Or discover that an upgrade broke
their backups and "fix" it after.

Keeping current behavior as is and adding additional format
options would avoid this problem for those who already depend
on it.
