It is also useful for uniform deployment, when you do not know which
storage is going to be used for rootfs. For example you can provide
the tar.bz2 for deployment on any device, e.g. NAND, SD card, mSATA...
Although it will require another form of deployment technique (not dd),
but I think it is still useful.

On the other hand, I agree that it can be enabled in the board file or
the local.conf.
So, you decide...
