Please elaborate here on the enhancement request.

Add criteria in QC-Del
Make sure tarballs always unpack into a single new directory

Describe the solution you'd like

The single most annoying mistake newbie developers make is to build tarballs that unpack the files and directories in the distribution into the current directory, potentially stepping on files already located there. Never do this!
