Even if we can't fix things for this release, presumably it's not too late to fix things for 2.7, right? Yes, there certainly are cases where you might want to have creative usage of symlinks and stored paths to allow overwriting existing files, and placing files outside of the extraction path, but that doesn't seem like the default case to me. Would it be a decent compromise to add a extract_under_path=True default option to extract() and extractall() for 2.7?
