Are you still pondering the inclusion of tar/bz2 support?
That's a library issue; I'm all for adding it if the code is robust enough, but ot for holding up a release for it.
Lars (tarfile's author) asked for some time to finish tarfile development and write a PEP about tarfile inclusion. Now that my vacation is over, I must get back to him and check what's going on.
