Just to give a few pointers for people wishing to go over the endless discussions
again:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/986882 - tar which is used by host-deploy is missing from fedora minimal installation
http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/devel/2013-July/005215.html - start of a discussion
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/17295 - host-deploy: use pyar instead of tar (still pending...)
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/17396 - host-deploy: use cpio instead of tar for bundle transfer (abandoned in favor of pyar)
