Do you mean the libtar -> libarchive change ? The reasons are in one of the oldest mail in the archives :) http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2005-October/005428.html And since pacman3 uses libarchive, some ppl thought it would make sense to use it (via bsdtar) in the other tools as well.
