Perhaps because / isn't large enough and it's needed to enlarge it to be
able to install the necessary libs?

I can't come up with a scenario for this, but this doesn't mean there
isn't one. Do you have a stronger reason than "I don't know how this
could be useful"? Hmmm... perhaps mounting a mfs disk, untaring
something to it, searching for the right files... whatever, I think we
should keep it in /rescue, but I will be quiet if someone removes it.

POLA, people use tar more often than pax. I know a lot of people which
haven't ever used pax, but they know how to use tar very good.
I agree with you about the other listed programs.
Bye,
Alexander.
