I do not expect any person to need more than one image, and
I do not expect that two different companies does not need to have
exactly the same image as other companies.

I do not plan to deliver binaries, only source,. so noone will be able to 
use this
without rebuilding the u-boot.
Anyone not modifying the configuration files will get the "default" binary.
Anyone not explictly running the "defenv" command will not see any of the
configuration created using buildroot.
