This component will be delivered via SFW and not ON - and while I share
the concern about the discrepancy in the name, we also try to avoid
making gratuitous changes to the files delivered components by the
consolidation.  Admitted, this is perhaps a small enough change that
warrants it being done but in general I would recommend against it
(perhaps a better idea would be to patch  the file with a small note at
the beginning indicating it refers to GNU tar but I would leave that to
the project team to decide).

I think that should be left to the project team.
