"vetted-out" == "worked the bugs out" == "tested"
However, I didn't mean "vetted-out" literally, anyways... :)
I will paraphrase some recent messages from FreeBSD-committers:
ache: I have imported a new GNU tar port into ports/sysutils/gtar
asami: Shouldn't that have been "src/contrib/tar"? :)
ache: No way! It's going to be years before I ever upgrade
something in src/contrib/ again after that mess with
bc(1)!!!!
IOW, no one has volunteered to upgrade tar(1) yet.
