the first point is not to change the default behavior of an userland, so
FreeBSD should have FreeBSD tar.
About the difference between the two, I still prefer bsdtar because is a
little more cleaner (imho), it does not use gzip/bzip2 in pipe to
extract .tar.gz and .tar.bz2 archives, and it extracts zip files and iso
files.
And it's a choice people can do, default users won't see any difference
anyway.
