that might do and why they might use it.

Was one of the understood reasons why they might use it to group many
files into one to send as an attachment, or to create a single file
backup of a directory? That seems to be the primary use for archives,
not to save space but to include many files in one. Also, in the future
( if / when btrfs is the default file system ) compression may be built
into the file system so you could compress a file or directory without
creating a separate file. What should a user look for to send multiple
files in an attachment when "compressing" them doesn't make that any
easier? I am not disagreeing with making the change for Karmic, just
noting some possible issues / questions.
