I think we should ask in the VDG forum what they think about these changes. When I opened this review I was not aware of the VDG.

But in this case the action `Compress -> As TAR.GZ Archive` would become a duplicate both in the name (well, kind of) and in the effect. In other words, the users will be confused about which of the two actions to choose.
