--- Comment #1 from John Marino <marino@FreeBSD.org> ---
I would discourage submitting patches like these.
USE_BZIP2 works equally well for the time being.  Switching to USES=tar:bzip2
doesn't have any benefit right now.

Committers will change it if they are touching the port for another reason, and
at some point a committer will change the remainging ports en-masse.


What is the motivation for this particular PR?
We've got over 1900 Ports PRs to go through and a low priority PR like this is
diverting attention from them.  But just in case there's something I'm missing.
why bother to submit a PR for this?
