	All I want is to get the issue (that is: the misbehavior of
	tar-untar-buffer with respect to the tar-mode buffer value of
	default-directory) fixed.

	From where I stand, the shortest way there seems to get either
	of my two patches approved (that is: at least a single OK and no
	NAKs), so that I can safely push it.  If there’s any other way I
	should be aware of – I’d like to hear about it.

	My understanding is that the Stefan’s comment is an OK (for a
	former patch), while your request for “someone third to resolve
	the tie” is a NAK (please correct me if it’s not.)

	I appreciate the comments regarding the possible new “explicit
	destination directory” feature, and I guess I can work on a
	possible implementation once /this/ issue – and also #19481 –
	are fixed.  However, I believe that such a new feature is no
	substitute for a proper fix to this bug.

	Thanks again for your participation in this discussion.
