We need to wait for Phillip to reply for the details.  But my
understanding is that Phillip is using this as an opportunity to clean
up the layout and to remove limitations.  This may give Squashfs an
easier ride in mainlining reviews, and once Squashfs is mainlined
layout changes may become much more difficult, so it's wise to do it
now.
