I agree it should generate an uncompressed tarball though and poky
already has that change. I'd support changing it in OE.dev, maybe after
vetting the machine.conf files to correct any users of tar to one of the
compressed types.

Just for future reference, regression implies that it once worked which
it didn't so its just a plain bug.
