This removes the explicit listing of compression packages, with the exception of gzip and bzip2.

What's the thinking for removing unzip but not tar?

tar is widely used directly, while unzip isn't. at least in the linux world...
i suppose azl4 may see more 'unzip' usage due to its proximity to the windows world.

Yes, that's probably true. VM extensions downloaded by wala are zipped; not sure if it depends on zip/unzip or uses the libs internally.
Edit: I'm guessing wala may use python's in-built Zip functionality?
Second edit: looks like unzip is, not, in fact in AZL3.0 marketplace image. Several others are, though.
