OpenBSD is perfectly in the right to leave non-POSIX tools out of the base 
install.

gzip-aware tar isn’t POSIX, either, but it’s been a de facto standard for about 
a decade now.  It’s not just in GNU tar and bsdtar, it’s even in BusyBox and 
Solaris.

So yeah, binaries intended for *all* POSIX platforms should be gzip-compressed 
tarballs.
