Can't agree with that. USB Thumb Drives for
instance are still one of the
most common ways to transport sessions and other data and are often
formatted FAT32 for interoperability purposes.

Luckily tar files do support symlinks. Some folks even create a ext2
fs formatted loopback file on the fat32 partition.
Of course it's a problem if you try to extract that tar file onto a fat32.
