[clue] is tar deprecated? (talk)

[Mike Bean]

Our SQL guy asked me an interesting question, I didn't honestly have an
answer, I thought it might be worthwhile to pose to the group.  He doesn't
understand why .tgz is still in use.  To his mind, gzip renders the
usefulness of tar questionable.  So why tar a file and THEN zip it, when you
can just zip it???

I honestly didn't know how to respond.  Any insights?
