Here are the reasons: * Simplified image/Makefile for targets, no extra ifdefs * Users can select if they want to include kernel/dtb or not - it is not hardcoded in the image/Makefile. For example, if one is building ramdisk image only no need to include kernel in rootfs. * Introduces ground work for including other options which can not be built as modules. Such as lxc/kexec support by default.
