I agree your points. But i think this libarchive thing isn't a new
feature. It is just a replacement for an old library (libtar). 

As in the TODO there is an entry to integrate libtar to CVS, because it
isn't activly developed. By the way with libarchive not need any
integration. And as i see, this libtar->libarchive replacement will be
good if we can do this before pacman-lib release.
