Theoretical question about tar/bzip2 by Sharku2007-01-25 08:09:02

    psst: using -9 with bzip2 is pointless by Freakazoid2007-01-25 10:11:04
      I like to be explicit by ormandj 2007-01-25 10:21:13
I like to specify commandline options even if they are default, for platform portability. You never know what people have done with applications when they've been ported to other systems. I've seen some pretty funky "defaults" for programs on some OSs. ;)

That said, you are correct (of course) - the default *should* be -9.
