U-Boot just prepends a 64 byte header (see include/image.h).

So "dd if=uImage of=kernel bs=64 skip=1" will do the job, as will
"tail -c +65 uImage >kernel".

They weren't that important. They were merely at the top. The  people
who  really  run organizations are usually found several levels down,
where it's still possible to get things done.
