I've been thinking about it, and I have to ask why GNU tar was included with the FreeBSD system as the default tar(1) utility. Wouldn't including the tar distributed with BSD be a better choice, since it's a bit more portable, and perhaps have the GNU tar availible as gtar, or as a port, starting in -CURRENT?
