Yes I agree.  But no tailoring is being asked for,

it's an example of a setup where you can move one SD card around
between different SoC systems using same kernel and multiple dtb.

I gave that example because you asked for use-cases where it was
useful dumping all the DTBs on the card instead of the DTB matching
the system it was installed on.
