More importantly, you might want to update the fdt files on a different cycle than the kernel. If you have a new slightly different configuration in a new machine you want to support, it may be easier to add a new file somewhere than doing a respin of all the kernel packages when they contain the dtc source. I would not see much of a problem with always shipping all trees with the kernel package, even if they never change.

I think we all agree it's the target use case, but I don't know whether we will have standalone fdts this cycle :-) I'm hoping to have the new hwpack format be ready for it
