That might be true when compared to some potential replacement of DTBs,
but when compared to what we had before DTBs, then the benefit is much
more clear: a single linux-image-armhf package which works for "all"
machines. Personally I don't mind changing the DTB every time I change
the kernel. Hell, that could/should be integrated with the process
which refreshes the initrd file anyway.
