End of argument then, at least for me.
But tar being used for stuff like backups, I consider the move with

Well, I consider GNU tar kind of unexpected too :) BTW, we are the only
BSD still using GNU tar (FreeBSD moved to BSD tar, Net and Open are using
the pax frontend).
pssst, MacOSX still defaults to gnu tar, at least 10.3 (I have yet to
install 10.4)
