I guess (repeating: *guess*) the main reason is that GPG signature needs to be verified for the exact file contents. If you put them into two files then you have a certain window where they are inconsistent. And stupid HTTP proxies can be very helpful with keeping that shitty temporary state persistent and with delivering it straight to the end user. So, inline signed files are basically a good idea. What is not so good: that the new feature is poorly documented. It stayed below the radar for many people for months/years. Regards, Eduard.
