Suggestion: Remove the -z / -j parameter from tar when dealing with compression

[Reelix]

Linus Torvalds - From a recent post over at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/5/29/1038 - Claimed

"People with restrictive hardware shouldn't make it more inconvenient
for people who have better resources."

In the tar application, the -z / -j parameters exists for the purpose
of decreasing the resultant file size of the created archive. The
problem is that in doing so, the compression/decompression time
increases.

For those with larger amounts of storage, faster disks, and faster
internet connections, this benefit is negligible, although they still
have to suffer from the increased decompression time from those that
have initially used the parameter.

I suggest that we follow Linus' idealogy and remove this parameter as
- Like he claims - "People with restrictive hardware shouldn't make it
more inconvenient for people who have better resources."

As removing the parameters entirely would still be an issue for those
dealing with legacy archives, the parameters can remain when dealing
with extraction - They should simply be prohibited when dealing with
the initial compression.

Thoughts?
