Well, none of the distros are able to package FIT images, while zImage
are the standard. Most of the features are actually pretty useful, but
fit images are specific to one particular bootloader, which violates a
bunch of abstraction layers in the process.

So, yeah, I'm using zImage because that's what everyone else supports
and packages.
