Yes, I did, and I think it might actually be enough to stop adding all those --exclude for pre-existing symlinks, as tar should replace them with actual directories (at least according to tar docs, and for a very long time), but I've not yet tested if that really holds true. Otherwise I think only --exclude-from= would be an appropriate replacement, although it would require a temp file.
