> I still regret the replacement of "tar" with "gnu tar"

Umm, Terry.  There was never any replacement that went on, since there
was no 'tar' sources that came with Net1/Net2 or 4.4Lite1/2.  Gnu-tar
was used because the BSD replacement (pax) was so buggy to be almost
unusable, and no-one was interested in fixing it.

I don't think BSDi even has pax working, due to the non-interest in the
new format.
