Description Arjun AK 2019-01-16 16:02:02 UTC 
It makes it easier for the user since he now only needs to download one file. It makes it easier for us as well since we no longer need to mess around with importing signature file or verifying it. We can also stop using filenames to identify the distro, instead we calculate the checksum and look for a match in our database. Adding support for new images becomes very easy. There also might be distros(raspbian?) that don't sign their images.
